Aristotle's poetics
Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς, Latin: De Poetica;[1] c. 335 BCE[2]) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.[3]
In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama—comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play—as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry).
The language of drama
This document defines and provides examples of several literary devices used in drama:
1) A pun is a play on words that can have double meanings. A monologue is a speech by one character to others on stage. A soliloquy is similar but spoken when a character is alone.
2) An aside allows a character to address the audience with secrets unknown to other characters. Stage directions provide physical actions for actors.
3) The document also discusses the purpose of acts in Shakespearean tragedies and defines blank verse as unrhyming iambic pentameter used by Shakespeare.
Christina Rossetti
Christina Rossetti was an English poet born in 1830 in London. She came from a artistic family and began writing poetry in her teens. Many of her poems were aimed at children. Her work often explored themes of religious faith and examined gender relations and societal expectations of women in Victorian society. Her most famous work is the poem "Goblin Market" which uses fantastical imagery and themes of temptation to examine complex issues of female sexuality and agency. She remained unmarried and became an invalid later in life, rejecting the social world associated with her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Three types of tragedy extra credit
Classical tragedies typically involve one setting, one day, and one to three characters, focus on religious and political issues of the time, and use formal language. In contrast, modern tragedies contain more characters and subplots, focus on societal issues like death and disease, involve unexpected plot twists, and have an intense pace. Both aim to convey meaningful messages to audiences through dramatic storytelling.

Drama
The document discusses the key elements of drama according to Aristotle and modern drama. It defines drama as coming from the Greek word meaning "to do" or "act." Aristotle was the first to identify the six essential elements of drama as plot, theme, characters, dialogue, music/rhythm, and spectacle. Modern drama retains many of these elements but also includes conventions, genre, and audience. Additional elements covered include literary elements like exposition and conflict, technical elements like scenery, costumes and props, and performance elements like acting, character motivation and analysis. The document also distinguishes between different types of drama like comedy, tragedy and theater.
Features ofModern drama
Modern drama features themes of realism, absurdism, and naturalism rather than supernatural elements and fate. Some key characteristics include: naturalism as shown through Ibsen's A Doll's House depicting the domination of women; absurdism through Synge's Playboy of the Western World where people accept absurd things; and realism in Albee's The Zoo Story about how civilization makes people introverted. Modern playwrights like Ibsen, Shaw, Albee, and Miller incorporated these themes and styles.

Drama is a form of storytelling meant to be performed in front of an audience. It consists of dialogue between characters and stage directions for actors. There are two main types: tragedies, which show the downfall of a hero, and comedies, which involve jokes and a happy ending. A play is written by a playwright and includes dialogue, characters, acts, and stage directions. It is brought to life through a production that includes sets, costumes, props, lighting, and a cast and crew. Proper theater etiquette requires the audience to be quiet and attentive during a performance.
Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet from Stratford-upon-Avon who wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets between 1589-1613. Some of his most famous plays include tragedies such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth as well as comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare wrote for the Lord Chamberlain's Men theatrical company and many of his plays were performed at The Globe theatre in London. His works have had a profound influence on English literature and culture.

/Describing/
Last semester on October 9th, my boyfriend and I attended the production of "Stupid F---ing Bird by Aaron Posner" performed at Studio 88 by the Miami Department of Theatre. We just went for fun, not knowing anything about the actual play. I once practiced lines of this piece with my friend, and came away from that thinking it was a comedy. This was NOT a comedy. Before the show started, all actors were passing out playbills, and responded to people coming into the studio as their characters, not themselves. They took on the attitude of the people in the play. The playbill gave us the insight on things that may have been slightly adapted from the original production, and the show included original music composed by the actors as well as different interpretations of a few scenes from the original show. It also included various interaction with the audience where there would be long pauses of silence with the on stage actors waiting for the audience's response (they didn't move on with the show until someone responded. Some of that took a while.) The description of the performance provided by the Department of Theatre is as follows:
"Love, death, beauty, despair and one unfortunate seagull collide in this unabashedly provocative riff on Chekhov’s classic. Con is a burgeoning playwright in love with his ingénue; his mother, an aging actress, is involved with a famous novelist; the novelist, in turn, is increasingly enchanted with Con’s girlfriend; and everyone else suffers on the sidelines. Chekhov’s characters still ruminate on love, revolution and the pursuit of happiness, but this time convention is severely compromised."
(I wish I had known this information before, because honestly it would have better prepared me for what I was about to deal with emotionally.)
/Interpreting/
Having the characters passing out playbills rather than just someone not in the show giving them out was an interesting way to meet the characters before we saw them perform on stage. Even when we greeted someone who we knew, he acted as though he never met us before and didn't know why we called him by a different name. All of them took it very seriously and played it out well. It added an extra layer of depth to each character. While I often feel like added original songs are unnecessary and tend to take away from the show rather than add to it, I will admit that the lyrics of each song they performed set the mood for the scene that would directly follow. There were also many times where actors would go off-stage and perform dialogue in different places in the audience, or sound effects would be heard to inform us that something happened. This added to the overall effect of having the audience be included in what was transpiring on stage/off-stage. Many times when the characters would speak, it would be as though they were speaking directly to us rather than to another character on stage. At the end of the show especially, this played a large role in havin.

Asides are different from monologues and soliloquies because they are very brief.

The stage directions are the lines below that are in parentheses. Jul. Yea, noise? then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! [Snatching ROMEO’S dagger. This is thy sheath; [Stabs herself.] there rest, and let me die. [Falls on ROMEO’S body and dies.
