Learning Inputs:
Drama as a form of creative writing, when applied to theatre, carries something
different along with itself: the visual element. The visual is the main thrust of theatre, and
therefore also of writing for the theatre (also called playwriting).
While almost all-powerful pieces of creative writing involve the readers forming images in
their mind using the vividness of the writing, drama is written for the stage (there is a form
of drama that is written for radio plays, but here we are talking specifically about theatrical
drama). It is all about performance.

Literary devices are common structures in writing that make up the components of
literature. Writers use these devices to help us interpret and analyze literary works. The
names of literary devices may also be called literary terms. Literary devices include both
literary elements and literary techniques.

Literary elements are the essential parts of storytelling that are found in almost all
types of literary and narrative writing.

develop his basic idea.
2. Theme- A theme is the author's
underlying meaning, message or
main idea that he is trying to convey.
3. Characters- is a person portrayed
in a drama
4. Setting- The time (when) and

exchanges between and among
characters.
6. Conflict- Conflict is essential to plot.
Without conflict, there is no plot.

arguments, but rather it is any form of
opposition that faces the main
character.

Learning Objectives

1.1. Define the meaning of intertextuality, and

1.2. Illustrate the concept of intertextuality

Intertextuality is the term for how the meaning of one text changes when we relate it to
another text. It is one way to understand how writing is contingent upon other factors: in
this case, how another text influences the way we understand, or struggle to understand, a
given text.
An intertextual approach to the interpretation of literature encourages questions such as:
How does this text relate to its sources? What language, symbols, stock images, rhythms,
poetic forms and techniques are present in the text, and which are left behind? How is this
text in dialogue with previous genres, themes, and historical contexts? An intertextually
minded critic might also assess how latent or available the intertextual elements are and
how far the writer expects the reader to pick up on connections to prior texts to decode
their significance.
