Elements, Techniques and Literary Devices of Drama

Drama also known as a play, is a form of literature written intentionally for theatrical performance. It is usually fictional and most of its parts are consisted of scripted dialogues, or only the acting in some cases, between characters intended to be performed. It is one of the first forms of storytelling in human history. Also, drama was popular in many other parts of the world. Drama examples have continued to be significant in different areas of the world and throughout different time periods.

Drama has one characteristic peculiar to itself—it is written primarily to be performed, not read. Two Types of Drama 1. Tragedy - is a form of drama in which events lead to the downfall of the main character, often a person of great significance, like a king or hero. Example: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare 2. Comedy - is a form of drama that has a happy ending. Humor comes from the dialogue and situations. Example: The Knaves of Shakespeare Elements of Drama Categories

In other words, it is the main idea or the lesson to be learned from the play. 1.3 Characters and Actors- the people (sometimes animals or ideas) portrayed by the actors.
