Analysing Dramatic Techniques And Effects

Akopọ

A novel can tell you that a room went cold. A play cannot. It has to change the light, put a stranger in the doorway, cut a line short, or let two people stand in silence for four seconds longer than is comfortable. Everything a dramatist means has to be carried by something an audience can see or hear in a room, in real time, with no narrator to help.

That constraint is the whole art. This note is the toolkit: dramatic irony, stage directions, setting and set, entrances and exits, dialogue and subtext, soliloquy, aside and chorus, the shaping of tension towards a climax, and the way acts and scenes are cut. It also covers the harder half of the skill, which is not naming a technique but saying precisely what it does to the people watching.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. Understand how writers create literary effects in drama
  2. Understand and use appropriate literary terminology
  3. Analyse the language, form and structure used by a writer to create meanings and effects

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

Prose fiction has a narrator who can enter a mind, summarise ten years, or tell you what a gesture meant. Drama has none of that. A playwright has only what can be performed: speech, silence, movement, objects, light and time. Every technique in this note is a way of getting information, feeling or judgement into an audience without a narrator, and the effect of each one depends on the fact that the audience is present, watching live, unable to turn back a page.
