ВСЁ ЧТО ЖЕЛТЫМ, НУЖНО ВКЛЮЧИТЬ В ПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЮ

As you already know, the difference between ‘traditional drama’ and


‘modern drama’ is actually the THEME/STYLE.
Traditional drama dealt with Supernatural elements, Fate, Heroic deeds etc
whereas Modern drama deals with Realism, Absurdism etc. Some of famous
Modern Playwrights are Eugene O’Neil, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller,
Henric Ibsen etc. Among them Henric Ibsen considered as “Father of Modern
Drama”.
There are some characteristics of MODERN DRAMA:
• Naturalism
• Absurdism
• Realism
NATURALISM: A manner or technique of treating subject matter that
presents, through volume of detail, a deterministic view of human life and actions.
Modern Playwrights like Henric Ibsen show naturalism in their writings. As Henric
Ibsen showed in his ‘A Doll’s House” that women are always dominated by men
and society as well.
There are 3 primary principles of naturalism:
1. the play should be realistic; the character should be flesh and blood;
performances should be realistic and not flamboyant or theatrical
2. the conflicts in the play should be issues of meaninful
3. the play should be simple
