Types of drama
This document outlines different types of drama, including tragedy, comedy, and modern problem plays. Tragedy is divided into categories like revenge tragedy and historical tragedy. Comedy includes subgenres such as pure comedy, tragi-comedy, comedy of humours focusing on personality types, and comedy of manners depicting social behavior.
Fiction (Novel + short stories)
Fiction refers to imaginary stories, both realistic and unrealistic, told through prose. Early forms of fiction include fairy tales about supernatural characters and fables where animals can talk. Modern fiction is dominated by novels, a form that arrived in English in the 18th century and has key elements like setting, characters, plot, theme, and point of view. Novels can be social, domestic, historical, autobiographical, epistolary, stream-of-consciousness, science fiction, terrifying, or detective fiction. Short stories are also a form of narrative prose but are typically shorter works that cover less time and space than novels. Both novels and short stories should have a beginning, middle, end and follow basic story structure
Structure of Greek play
The structure of a Greek play consisted of a prologue, parados, episodes separated by songs from the chorus, and an exodus. The chorus' songs included a stasimon after the first episode and a commos at the end involving actors. A Greek tragedy followed specific conventions - it had a beginning, middle, and end; illustrated the downfall of a heroic figure due to a mistake stemming from hubris; and elicited emotions of fear and pity in audiences. The structure of modern tragedies includes an introduction, development/complications, climax, denouement, and catastrophe. Key differences between classical and modern drama include religious focus versus entertainment, mythological versus normal characters, the role of fate versus personal
Drama
Drama is an important form of literature that imitates real life through plays performed on stage. There are two main types of plays: tragedies, which depict a sad or disastrous event and usually end sadly, and comedies, which amuse and entertain audiences with happy endings. A tragedy features a main character who suffers greatly, often ending in death, while exploring serious human themes. Key elements that make up drama include the theme, plot, characters, dialogue, music, and visual components like scenery, costumes, and special effects. Plays are brought to life through the actors embodying the characters and moving the story forward with dialogue.
Classical drama
Greek drama originated as religious performances held to worship gods and goddesses. Plays dealt with myths and legends and aimed to impart moral lessons. The three major classical dramatists were Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, who interpreted the same stories differently. Plays were performed outdoors in daylight for large audiences, with a chorus commenting on the story and no more than 3 actors allowed on stage due to conventions of maintaining unity of time, place, and action within a single day. Prologues were used to explain background events when these conventions were difficult to follow.
Lyrical poetry
This document discusses different types of lyrical poetry including lyrics, sonnets, odes, and elegies. Lyrical poetry records the poet's personal experiences and feelings. Lyrics are short poems that express spontaneous emotion inspired by something immediate, while sonnets are 14 lines written in iambic pentameter discussing one idea. Odes describe or celebrate events with irregular meter, and elegies lament death, either plainly or through the metaphor of a pastoral death. The document provides examples of different forms of lyrical poetry.
Dramatic Monologue
Dramatic monologue is a type of narrative poem where a single speaker reveals their emotions and feelings to the reader. In dramatic monologues, the author remains in the background while a character tells their story. William Blake's poem "The Chimney Sweeper" is an example of a dramatic monologue, where a young chimney sweep describes his experiences working and the dream he had of other sweeps being freed from their work.
Satire
Satire is a form of writing that uses humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. It can be in the form of prose or verse. While the writer's aim is often to provoke laughter, satire can also be very bitter and sarcastic. The history of satire can be traced back to 14th century works by writers like Geoffrey Chaucer. Famous 18th century satirists who used heroic couplets include John Dryden and Alexander Pope, whose well-known satirical poems include Mac Flecknoe, Absalom and Achitophel, and The D
Introduction to Literature - Lecture 3
Poetry uses aesthetic and rhythmic language to create meaning. It is a type of literary art that expresses emotion. There are two main styles of poetry - personal, where the poet expresses their own feelings, and impersonal, where the poet expresses what others may have felt without revealing their own emotions. Epics are a form of impersonal poetry that celebrate the deeds of a larger than life hero through a grand narrative style. They incorporate elements of history, legend, and myth. Famous epics include works like Beowulf, Gilgamesh, and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
Introduction to Literature - Lecture (2)
Verse and prose are the two forms of literature. Verse follows regular patterns of rhythm and is used for poems, while prose is written in normal language like stories. Poetry is verse that conveys deep emotions through language that follows a rhythmic pattern. Prose is used to express feelings but verse is used when writers want to profoundly convey something by adhering to a metrical structure. Literature exists in three main types - poetry, drama, and fiction.
Introduction to Literature -Lecture (1)
This document discusses the definition and purpose of literature. It notes that not all written works are considered literature, and identifies two types that are: writings that describe feelings or experiences, and imaginary writings that create fictional worlds. Literature is defined as the art of creative writing, including poetry, drama, fiction and some non-fiction. The purpose of literature is to represent experiences and record feelings, as well as provide pleasure through well-told stories, poems, and dramas. An excerpt from a poem is included as an example.
