Drama

Drama is a mode of narrative that presents a story through a performance, typically characterized by dialogue and actions of characters. It often explores complex themes, emotions, and conflicts, engaging audiences in the experiences of the characters. Drama encompasses various forms, including plays, films, and television shows, and can range from serious and tragic to comedic in nature. The term originates from the Greek word “dran,” meaning “to do” or “to act,” highlighting its focus on actions and interactions within a structured format. In literature, drama is a genre distinct from poetry and prose, often intended for performance by actors before an audience. It involves elements such as plot, character, setting, conflict, and resolution, working together to convey a message or evoke an emotional response in viewers.
