Transition to the Lesson.

Drama is the portrayal of fictional or non-fictional events through the

performance of written dialog (either prose or poetry). Dramas can be
performed on stage, on film, or the radio. Dramas are typically called
plays, and their creators are known as “playwrights” or “dramatists.”

The two iconic masks of drama—the laughing face and the crying face
—are the symbols of two of the ancient Greek Muses: Thalia, the
Muse of comedy and Melpomene, the Muse of tragedy.

Drama is a composition of prose or poetry that is transformed into a

performance on stage. The story progresses through interactions
between its characters and ends with a message for the audience.
What are the different elements of drama? How are they related to
each other? How do they affect the quality and thereby the popularity
of a play?

ELEMENTS OF DRAMA

1. Characters. The characters that form a part of the story are

interwoven with the plot of the drama. Each character in a play
has a personality of its own and a set of principles and beliefs.
Actors in the play have the responsibility of bringing the
characters to life. The main character in the play who the
audience identifies with, is the protagonist. He/she represents the
theme of the play.

The character that the protagonist conflicts with, is the

antagonist or villain. While some characters play an active role
throughout the story, some are only meant to take the story
forward and some others appear only in certain parts of the story
and may or may not have a significant role in it. Sometimes,
these characters are of help in making the audiences focus on
the play’s theme or main characters. The way in which the
characters are portrayed and developed is known as
characterization.
2. Setting. The time and place where a story is set is one of its
important parts. The era or time in which the incidents in the play
take place, influence the characters in their appearance and
personalities. The time setting may affect the central theme of the
play, the issues raised (if any), the conflict, and the interactions
between the characters. The historical and social context of the
play is also defined by the time and place where it is set. The time
period and the location in which the story is set, affect the play’s
staging. Costumes and makeup, the backgrounds and the
furniture used, the visuals (colors and kind of lighting), and the
sound are among the important elements of a play that dictate
how the story is translated into a stage performance.

3. Plot. The order of events occurring in a play make its plot.

Essentially, the plot is the story that the play narrates. The
entertainment value of a play depends largely on the sequence of
events in the story. The connection between the events and the
characters in them form an integral part of the plot. What the
characters do, how they interact, the course of their lives as
narrated by the story, and what happens to them in the end,
constitutes the plot. A struggle between two individuals, the
relation between them, a struggle with self, a dilemma, or any
form of conflict of one character with himself or another character
in the play, goes into forming the story’s plot. The story unfolds
through a series of incidents that share a cause-and-effect
relationship. Generally, a story begins with exposing the past or
background of the main and other characters, and the point of
conflict, then proceeds to giving the central theme or climax. Then
come the consequences of the climax and the play ends with a
conclusion.

4. Dialogue. The story of a play is taken forward by means of

dialogs. The story is narrated to the audiences through the
interaction between the play’s characters, which is in the form of
dialogs. The contents of the dialogs and the quality of their
delivery have a major role to play in the impact that the play has
on the audiences. It is through the dialogs between characters
that the story can be understood. They are important in revealing
the personalities of the characters. The words used, the accent,
tone, pattern of speech, and even the pauses in speech, say a lot
about the character and help reveal not just his personality, but
also his social status, past, and family background as given by
the play. Monologues and soliloquies that are speeches given to
oneself or to other characters help put forward points that would
have been difficult to express through dialogs.
