Drama

Drama is a literary genre that represents a narrative through dialogue and performance, typically intended for theatrical presentation. It encompasses various forms, including plays, screenplays, and radio dramas. The term derives from the Greek word “dran,” meaning “to do” or “to act.” In drama, characters are developed through conflict and emotion, with a structure often divided into acts and scenes. Dramatic works explore complex themes and human experiences, such as love, conflict, betrayal, and moral dilemmas. They engage the audience through a combination of dialogue, character interactions, and staging, aiming to evoke emotional responses and provoke thoughts about the human condition. Drama can vary in tone, ranging from tragedy to comedy, and can be performed in various settings, including theaters, film, and television.
