~what a literature minor student should know~

Today’s class taught us all about the differentiation of certain types of dramas. There are several types of drama such as tragedy, comedy, tragicomedy and farce; all types of dramas hold their specific characteristics like the name they bear. For example tragedy dwells with the falling from high respect to the depth of humiliation and comedy revolves around the aspect of a group of people sharing the same social value. Tragicomedy in the other hand brings out the nature of tragedy but it ended up with a happy ending whereas farce is all about extreme comic situation. I was taught about the details of each drama should hold and they are the details that distinguish each type from the other. Later in this class I was given a simple explanation on the conventions of theatre; the text, the acts, the scenes, the stage directions and so much more. Thus enlighten me about drama; it is certainly not an easy task because a lot of team work is crucial in performing a good and sensational play.
