A short introductory speech delivered as part of a play is called a "prologue". The prologue is typically spoken by a character called the "chorus" at the beginning of the play, and it serves to set the scene, provide some background information, and introduce the major themes or conflicts that will be explored in the play. The prologue can also help to establish the tone of the play and engage the audience's attention from the start.

Detalhes da Resposta
The major distinctive feature of drama is dialogue. Dialogue is the spoken interaction between characters on stage, and it is what moves the story forward. Unlike other forms of literature, such as prose or poetry, drama is meant to be performed and heard, rather than read. Therefore, dialogue is essential for conveying the characters' emotions, motivations, and relationships, as well as the plot and themes of the play. While setting and plot are important elements of drama, it is through the dialogue that the characters and their conflicts come to life on stage. Epilogue, on the other hand, is a concluding section that follows the main body of a literary work, and it is not a distinctive feature of drama.

Detalhes da Resposta
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.
