The major genres of Literature are Poetry, Drama, and Prose.
1. Poetry is a form of literary art that uses language to evoke emotions and express ideas, often with a musical quality. Poems can be structured in many ways, such as rhyme, meter, or free verse.
2. Drama is a form of literature that is intended to be performed on stage in front of an audience. It includes plays, musicals, and operas, and often explores complex themes and issues through dialogue and action.
3. Prose refers to any written or spoken language that is not poetry or drama, and includes many forms such as novels, short stories, essays, and biographies. Prose typically follows a more straightforward narrative structure and can be either fiction or non-fiction.
These three genres have different forms and techniques for expressing ideas and emotions, and are essential in understanding and appreciating literature.
