Origins and Elements of Drama by sophia laurena is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Drama originated in ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago as a form of worship for Dionysus. It began as choral poetry performed by groups honoring the god, and later introduced dialogue. The two main types of Greek drama were tragedy and comedy. Aristotle later classified drama into four categories including tragedy. He identified six elements that make up dramatic works: plot, character, theme, diction, melody, and spectacle. The summary provides a high-level overview of the origins and evolution of drama.
