C. Lesson Proper
Explaining Key Concepts
You already have learned about fiction and
drama in your creative writing class last term.
As a form of review, let’s refresh our memory
with some of the terms. Fiction is defined as
“a series of imagined facts which illustrates
truths about human life.” It is commonly called
“stories,” and can either be short (short story)
or rather long (novella or novel). Drama also
uses the traditional conventions of fiction but
has an additional distinctive characteristic of
being performed ad mounted stage.

Elements of Fiction and Drama

Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region VI-Western Visayas
Division of Iloilo
DOMINADOR ABANG MEMORIAL NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Garita, San Enrique, Iloilo

Plot- the sequence of events happening in

a story.

Setting- the place and time where and

when an events happen.

Characters- the persons who inhabit a

story.

Theme- the central idea, or thesis, or

overall message that the story conveys.

Comparison and Contrast of the

Conventions and Devices between Fiction
and Drama

Fiction is generally classified as short story or

novel. A short story is a brief artistic prose
from that centers on a single main incident
and intends to produce a single dominant
impression. A novel is an extensive prose
narrative that contains chapters and
interludes.

Plays (drama), however, are generally

classified into acts or major divisions. The
most common are one-act-play, which has
one unit of time, one unit of place and one
unit of action play; and three-act-play, which
showcases a longer exposition of the theme
and conflict.

All stories must have a point of view. The

point of view is the vantage point or the
angle from which the readers can see how the
story unfolds. It can be told from the
perspective of a narrator, a main or
supporting character, or an observer. It can
also come from an omniscient (all-knowing)
being.

Drama also employs point of view but this is

not apparent and evident in a play. What is
visible is the interplay of dialogue between
and among the characters. This is the
component that moves the action of the play.
A dialogue is what viewers see and hear in a
performance and these are the words uttered
by the characters in a dramatic play.

The development of plot in both fiction and

Division of Iloilo

drama has a pattern. Generally, it contains

the following:
Exposition- introduces the characters and
dramatic situation of the story or play.

Rising Action- introduces the conflict of the

story or play.

Climax- introduces the central moment of

crisis that defines the conflict.

Falling Action- introduces the aftermath of

conflict (whether it is resolved or not)

Resolution/denouement- introduces the

moment of insight, discovery, or revelation of
the character after the falling action.

In other more popular and modern types of

fiction and drama, the development of plot is
simply divided into three general parts: the
beginning, the middle, and the end.

Narrative Devices
1. Foreshadowing- is used in fiction and
drama as a guide or hint at what is to
happen next in the story.
2. Irony- is also used both in fiction and
drama when words that are uttered,
either by the author or the characters in
the story, are the opposites of what they
actually mean. The intention here is to
present a difference between what is
imagined will happen and what actually
happens.
3. Flashback- is employed by an author or
a playwright through the use of a past
event that will help the readers
understand the present. This is generally
utilized to achieve a dramatic effect or
impact on the readers and audiences.
4. Conflict- is both present in fiction and
drama. It provides and showcases the
opposing objectives of the protagonist
and the antagonist, or inside the
protagonist.
5. The use of deux ex machina in both
fiction and drama was once a noble
strategy. Today, it is a sign of weakness
in the written work. Once referring to the
Greek practice of physically lowering a
“god” to the stage at the end of the play

to solve all the problems, today it refers

to a contrived element in the plot used to
solve a problem.

VI. Evaluation
Writing exercise

1. The following paragraphs are

excerpted from the tale Tungkung
Langit and Alunsina.

One day, Tungkung Langit told his wife that

he would be away from home for some time
to put an end to the chaotic disturbances in
the flow of time and in the position of things.
However, despite this purpose, Alunsina sent
the breeze to spy on Tungkung Langit. This
made the latter very angry upon knowing
about it.

Immediately after his return from his trip, he

called this act to her attention, saying it was
ungodly of her to be jealous, there being no
creature living in the world except the two of
them. This reproach was resented by
Alunsina and a quarrel between them
followed.

2. Rewrite the excerpt by using the

dialogue. Imagine what Tungkung
Langit would be saying to Alunsina,
and how Alunsina would respond to
Tungkung Langit’s accusations.
Visualize the quarrel scene of the two
gods and write imaginary dialogue
below. Write this dialogue on the
following lines.
