Question

What are the differences between drama and other types of literature?

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

here is ur answer

As a performative genre, drama differs from other literary genres in that there is no narrator present. In many dramatic texts, the author may enter into the experience by means of written stage directions, which often tell us not simply what characters and places look like, but what we are supposed to think about them, but in its intended form, as a performance, those stage directions are not experienced by the audience.

Another important difference between drama and other literary forms is that there is no definitive "text" for the reader to consider. "Waiting for Godot," for example, exists as a text, but properly speaking, as a play, it exists only in performance. There have been (and will be) countless productions of "Godot," each different from the other. And even within productions, each performance is a unique experience. Contrast this with, say, "Ode to a Grecian Urn," whose words -- like the urn itself -- never change.

Another critical aspect of drama, as a performative genre, is that it is a collaborative art. Here we aren't considering collaboration in the sense of Beaumont and Fletcher, but as the joining together of the author, director, actors, designers, etc. to create the dramatic experience. Any playwright worth his salt is aware of the fact that his text is "his" only up to a point -- in order for it to be fully realized, it must be transformed by hands other than his.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Poems are written in lines and stanzas instead of sentences and paragraphs. Prose is made up of sentences and paragraphs without any metrical (or rhyming) structure. Drama is a piece of writing that tells a story; it is performed on a stage and uses dialogue.

Drama refers to plays, which are written to be acted on a stage by people playing the parts of characters. Prose is usually meant to be read privately by an individual (though speeches are almost always written in prose) and is the kind of writing we associate with both fiction and nonfiction books.

Prose poetry is written like prose, in paragraphs rather than verse, but contains the characteristics of poetry, such as poetic meter, language play, and a focus on images rather than narrative, plot, and character. Meter is the rhythm of a poem, including syllables per line and which syllables are emphasized
