Lesson
Elements, Techniques and
1 Literary Devices of Drama

Drama also known as a play, is a form of literature written intentionally for theatrical
performance. It is usually fictional and most of its parts are consisted of scripted

6
dialogues, or only the acting in some cases, between characters intended to be
performed.

It is one of the first forms of storytelling in human history. Also, drama was
popular in many other parts of the world. Drama examples have continued to be
significant in different areas of the world and throughout different time periods. One
of the reasons that drama has continued to have such an important place in
literature is its unique way of presenting a narrative in real time.

these clothes?

- From: August Wilson's Fences

Text 2

All the world's a stage,


And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts, His
acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

- From: All the World's a Stage by William Shakespeare

Now, complete this Venn diagram.

Activity 3: What’s in this Name

Directions: Using the organizer below, write down words associated with
drama.

DRAMA

What is It
How is it? Is your learning from this module progressing? Let’s
continue. This time let us learn about the following concepts:

What is Drama?

9
Drama comes from the Greek Word, “Dran” which means “To do” or “To Act”.
Doing/Acting makes drama. It is the presentation of actions on a stage
through actors/actress before an audience. Like a short story or novel, it has
a setting, characters, plot, and even symbolism.

But What Makes Drama Unique?

Drama has one characteristic peculiar to itself—it is written primarily to be


performed, not read.

Two Types of Drama

1. Tragedy - is a form of drama in which events lead to the downfall of the


main character, often a person of great significance, like a king or hero.
Example: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
2. Comedy - is a form of drama that has a happy ending. Humor comes from
the dialogue and situations.
Example: The Knaves of Shakespeare

Elements of Drama

Categories

1. Literary Elements
Aristotle’s Six Elements
1.1 Plot refers to the action; the basic storyline of the play.
Six Stages in a Plot Structure
Initial Preliminary Rising Action
Incident Event

Denouement Falling Action Climax

1.2 Theme refers to the message that is intended to be expressed


through the story. In other words, it is the main idea or the lesson to
be learned from the play.

10
1.3 Characters and Actors- the people (sometimes animals or ideas)
portrayed by the actors.
Typically, each character, both major and minor, is listed alongside a brief
description of the character's role in the story. Below, you can see that Troy is the
main character, and each character is described in relation to him.
Example LYONS, Troy's oldest
son by previous marriage
Characters
GABRIEL, Troy's brother
TROY MAXSON
CORY, Troy and Rose's son
JIM BONO, Troy's friend
RAYNELL, Troy's daughter
ROSE, Troy's wife
Characterization is the way the playwright/author presents a character

Types of Character
1. Protagonist is the main character of a story.
2. Antagonist is the opposite of a Protagonist. Usually the villain or
opponent of the main character
3. Round character are complex and undergo development.
4. Flat character are relatively uncomplicated and do not change
throughout the whole story.

1.4 Dialogue refers to words written by the playwright and spoken by the characters
in the play.
Forms of Dialogue:
It is the conversation between two or more characters is referred to as dialogue
(usually the majority of speech in plays consists of dialogue).
A monologue is when one character delivers a speech to convey his or her
thoughts, although other characters may remain on stage in scene. Similar to
a monologue, a soliloquy is a speech made by one character but delivered
when he or she is alone on stage.
1.5 Music/Rhythm referring to the rhythm of the actors’ voice as they speak
1.6 Spectacle – refers to the visual elements of a play: Set, Costumes, special effects

2. Script- the written pages of a play. Scripts are divided into Acts and Scenes.
Acts- long sections of a play, made up of multiple scenes, usually designed
to separate the play into its main parts and to give the audience a “break”
from the performance.

Scenes- shorter sections of a play, usually each scene occurs in one


location at a specific time. Multiple scenes make up an act. It is often
signaled by the entrance or exit of a character or change in setting or focus
of the action

Example from August Wilson's Fences

Act I
Scene 2
The LIGHTS come up on ROSE hanging up clothes.
SHE hums and sings softly to herself.
It is the following morning.

12
ROSE. (Sings.)
Jesus, be a fence all around me every day

3. Setting - the place, together with other conditions, such as time and the
environment, involved in which the events occur. The setting in the drama can
be presented through the visual element deals with the scenes, costumes and
special effects used in it. The setting can as well be enhanced by using viewable
elements, sound effects, and music.

Techniques in Drama

1. Vocal Dynamics – actors need to expand their vocal toolbox and learn about
the ways that range, pitch, and pronunciation which affect performance
2. Body Language and Mannerisms - actors bring their characters to life by
moving, reacting, and even standing in nuanced ways that are natural for their
character.
3. Use and Awareness of Space - actors need to be aware not just of your “marks”
on stage, but also of the actors who must interact with or move past you
4. Improvisational Techniques refers to the on-the-spot creativity of the actors.

Common Literary Devices Used in Drama

• Figures of speech – words that goes its literal meaning


Metaphor - are one of the most extensively used literary devices. A
metaphor refers to a meaning or identity ascribed to one subject by way of

13
another. In a metaphor, one subject is implied to be another so as to draw a
comparison between their similarities and shared traits.
For example:
a rose (object) is substituted for love (feeling)
“Henry was a lion on the battlefield.”
Similes are one of the most commonly used literary devices; referring to the
practice of drawing parallels or comparisons between two unrelated and
dissimilar things, people, beings, places and concepts. Similes are marked
by the use of the words ‘as’ or ‘such as’ or ‘like’

14
For example:

He is like a mouse in front of the teacher.

• Imagery - the author’s attempt to create a mental picture in the mind of the
reader. It appeals to the senses.
For example:
Visual imagery - It was dark in the forest…
Olfactory Imagery (smell) – She whiffed the sweet aroma of his drink
Tactile Imagery (touch) - She held it with her rough hand the soft pillow.

• Symbolism - when an object is meant to be representative of something or


an idea greater than the object itself or it is the frequent use of words,
places, characters, or objects that mean something beyond what they are on
a literal level.

For example: a writer uses the word ‘blood’ once its meaning will be
confined to that instance in which it is used.
But if the word is used repeatedly, as it is in plays like Macbeth and Romeo
and Juliet it expresses some profound ideas. By using a word repeatedly in
different contexts it expresses several interlocking themes. In Romeo and
Juliet ‘blood’ refers to all the following and more themes: violence, youth,
passion, family ties.

• Dramatic Irony – involves the reader (or audience) knowing something


about what's happening in the plot, about which the character(s) have no
knowledge.
For example:
From Romeo and Juliet
“Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye / Than twenty of their
swords! Look thou but sweet, / And I am proof against their enmity”
(act 2, scene 2).

Romeo tries to reassure Juliet by claiming he is invincible to


her family's hostility, but the audience knows that the young lovers
are doomed to die as a result of the feud.

• Foreshadowing refers to the use of indicative words/phrases and hints that


set the stage for a story to unfold and give the reader a hint of something
that is going to happen without revealing the story or spoiling the suspense.
Foreshadowing is used to suggest an upcoming outcome to the story.

15
Example:
“He had no idea of the disastrous chain of events to follow.”
