Drama is different from other literary works (such as
a prose and poetry. ) It consists of dialogue and stage direction . An analysis of a play is NOT a summary. An analysis requires an INTERPRETATION by the reader. Focus on single element of drama( plot, character, dialogue, setting, stage Direction ..). An interpretation of a work may concentrate on a specific part of the drama/play( Satge Direction, word by word, sentence by sentence, dialogue by dialogue) Structural Elements of Drama
Cast of characters - list of characters in play
Dialogue – words that tell the actors what to say Stage directions – words that tell how the stage should look or what the actors should do Setting – words that tell or refer to where, when, condition, amospher of the play takes place Acts – major sections of a long play The general process
Examine the title: is it indicative of a conflict or
human condition? is it symbolic or something else?. Is it irony, sarcastic, satire, serious or humorous? Read the play: are there any indication of the meaning? what is the topic? The setting? The voice?, Is there historical or cultural link? Study the ending: Where has the play taken you? Examine the drama by parts: Are there acts or scene symbolic? Is there a purpose for breaking the acts or scene at specific points? Determine the Tone : how is it?, sad, anger, hate? Analyzing Drama
Read the drama several times .Some questions before
reading are very important:
1. Who are the characters?: who is protagonist?,
antagonist . How do the charaters relate each others? What is their function within the plot? What are the point of view/ perspective of the characters? It may be social, intellectual,political,even physical? What happens?: are conflicts introduced?, are the conflicts internal or external? Or both of them? Is the play tragic, humorous, resolved insightful? What is the setting : what condition, situattion, atmosphere make the drama? And how do they relate to Theme? What is the theme? What does the play want to say exactly? What is the significant of the play as the whole? How is the theme revealed through the characters, plot? Dialogue? Act and scene? Are there any key statements? How does language contribute to the meaning?: what kind of words , phrases or sentences are used? How does the stage direction play a role? this really influences the meaning of the drama, so do not ignore them. Is there political, ideology, historical or cultural aspect? ( race, status social, gender, class) What qualities or emotions does the play evoke? How do you feel when reading the text.
