1. Drama: It is a literary written form that tells the story of human conflict through dialogues and action that is to be performed by actors. It is a specific mode of fiction, which is to be performed, not narrated. Its origin is not new. In the Middle ages, it was present in its limited form. There are four main types of drama: comedy, tragedy, tragicomedy, and melodrama. The action in a drama moves towards its climax and falls down slowly in a logical way to a reasonable conclusion.
Examples:
William Shakespeare wrote dramas successfully. Some of them are Hamlet
(Tragedy), Macbeth (Tragedy), The Winter’s Tale (Tragi-comedy), The Merchant of
Venice (Tragicomedy), and Much Ado About Nothing (Comedy), etc.
John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi (A Revenge
Tragedy)
