~first impression~

The literary component of drama has always captivated me the most because of its way of delivering is much different than the other literary components there is; drama is performed and not read. During the teaching of drama class, EDU 3217 I was informed the basics knowledge of drama itself. What is drama and how it is actually cultivated in the society all over the world. Every place has its own significant history of drama as I was taught and the earliest sort of drama is developed in the Aristotelian age by the philosopher himself, thus embarking the glorious age of the Greek Theatre. The names that have made Greek Theatre a great mark in the history of theatre are such as Aristotle, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes. I was also taught about how different kind of drama resolves in their own characteristics and identity. For instance, the Roman Theatre rose after the emergence of Christianity and their concept of entertainment is more to the violent side of life. Gladiators are an example of the Roman entertainment. Medieval theatre in the other hand starts with the era of Queen Elizabeth the first. Restoration drama came next followed by the 18th-19th century drama. Modern drama came after that and it also known as the 20th century drama and it dwells with Freudian interpretation of life. I am astonished by the development of drama and theatre because it took a great deal of efforts and restoration just to make sure the essence of traditional drama is preserved.
