Drama in literature is different from drama in general. Drama in literature means a story that has a conflict. This story includes dialogue in order to make it interesting. The elements of drama in literature are all in a play. A play is something that gives you a perspective on the plot, characters, and setting. A play is performed on a stage using scripts. The elements of a stage are stage directions, dialogue, set and stage, plot, theme, costumes, and music and lighting. Scripts are what actors use to help them memorize what they have to say and the action that they are supposed to do with thier lines. The costumes are the clothes that the characters wear in the play. What the character wears expresses their personality and their style. A play has a central message and the central message is called a theme. There is seven main themes. A play can be more than one theme. The seven themes are war, love, family, redemption, tragedy, revenge and bravery. these plays are usually performed on stages. The stages are made into a scene to make the acting look believable and help set an image for the viewers sitting in the house. The house is where the audience sits during a play. The play has a plot and that plaot has main parts to it. The plot starts off with the exposition where the play introduces the main characters and the setting. After that comes the conflict and then the rising action that leads to the Climax. The Climax is where the most action and the main things happen in the play. After the Climax comes the falling actin and the resolution. This is where the problem starts to get fixed and where the ending of the play comes. The ending is either a happy ending or a sad one.
