Drama

Drama is a genre of literature and performing arts that focuses on the representation of human life and emotions through the enactment of conflicts, struggles, and interactions among characters. It is characterized by its use of dialogue and direct action to convey its narrative, often exploring themes such as love, betrayal, conflict, and morality. Dramas can be presented in various forms, including stage plays, television scripts, and film screenplays.

The term “drama” originally comes from the Greek word “dran,” meaning “to do” or “to act.” In a broader sense, drama encompasses not only the scripted works performed by actors but also the emotional experiences and tensions that unfold within the story. Typically, dramas are structured into acts and scenes, guiding the audience through the progression of the plot and the development of characters.

Dramatic works can be further divided into sub-genres, such as tragedy, comedy, and melodrama, each offering different tones and approaches to storytelling. Overall, drama serves as a reflection of society and human experiences, engaging audiences both intellectually and emotionally.
