 Introduction

The Elements of Drama

-are the ingredients that give the play its shape and character.
And also considers which dramatic forms and
dramatic conventions to use.
Plot
Exposition
The setting is fixed in a particular place and time,
the mood is set, and characters are introduced. A
backstory may be alluded to.
 Rising Action
An exciting force or inciting event begins
immediately after the exposition (introduction),
building the rising action in one of the several
stages toward the point of greater interest.
 Climax
It is the turning point, which changes
the protagonist’s fate.
 Falling Action
During the falling action, the hostility of the
counter-party beats upon the soul of the hero. The
falling action may contain a moment of final
suspense. The final outcome is in doubt.
Denouement
It comprises events from the end of the falling
action to the actual ending scene of the drama or
narrative. Conflicts are resolved, creating
normality for the characters and release of tension
for the audience.

sometimes animals,
subjected in the drama,
and are portrayed by the
actors and actresses in the
play.

character reveals key details, motivates the
protagonist, foils the protagonist, or helps define
the story’s setting.

Point
of
View

Ellaine Joyce Sorbito

Point of View
It is the angle of considering things,
which shows us the opinion or
feeling of the individuals involved
in a situation.
 First Person
POV

In first person point of view, one of the characters

is narrating the story. This is generally revealed by
the “I” sentence construction and relies on first
person pronouns.
 Second Person
POV
It is when the narrator says “You”
and puts the reader directly into
the story.
Third Person
POV
A person not involved in the actual story is telling
the story including the thinking and actions of the
characters.
Third Person Omniscient
-the narrator shows what happens and what the
characters are thinking.

Examples:
Narrator (First Lines) : Two households, both alike in
dignity In fair Verona where we lay our scene. From ancient
grudge break to new mutiny. Where civil blood makes civil
hands unclean From forth the fatal loins of these two foes. A
pair of star-crossed lovers take their life. Whose
misadventured piteous overthrows do with their deaths bury
their parents' strife.

Narrator (Last Lines) : A glooming peace this morning with it

brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. For never
was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
 Third Person
Limited
They do not seem to be sure of what every character is
feeling.

Example: "Harry had taken up his place at wizard school,

where he and his scar were famous … but now the school
year was over, and he was back with the Dursleys for the
summer, back to being treated like a dog that had rolled in
something smelly. The Dursleys hadn't even remembered
that today happened to be Harry's twelfth birthday. Of
course, his hopes hadn't been high…"
Dramatic
POV
The narrator shows what happens but not what
characters are thinking.
