What is Drama?
A drama, or play, is a piece of writing that is presented almost
exclusively through dialogue. The word drama comes from Greek word
“dran” meaning “to act or to do.”
Hence, drama, like other forms of literature, imitates life. It is a form
of literature which is played in a theatre, in which actors/ actresses take the
roles of the characters, perform the action, and express the written dialogue.
It is designed for representation on the stage by actors who act the parts of
the characters of its story, and among whom the narrative and the dialogue
are distributed. Drama generally takes the form of the theatre performance
but it can as easily be transferred broadcasting to a home television screen,
or to the printed page.
Finally, drama mirrors the life, customs, manner and general living
habits of the people.
Elements of Drama
1. CHARACTERS – these are the people (actors) who portray roles in a play.
It is the characters who move the action, or plot of the play forward.
2. SETTING – this identifies the time and place of the story. It consists of
the historical period, the moment, day, and season in which the incidents
take place. It also includes the sceneries in the performance.
3. PLOT –this refers to the action which also connotes the sequence of
events in the story.
Kinds of Plot
a. Dramatic or Progressive Plot- it happens in a chronological structure.
b. Episodic Plot- this consists of a series of loosely related incidents,
usually of chapter length.
c. Parallel Plot- this consists two or more dramatic plots that are usually
linked by a common character.
d. Flashback- This structure conveys information about events that
occurred earlier.
Elements of Plot
a. Exposition: At the beginning of the story, characters, setting, and the
main conflict are typically introduced.
b. Rising Action: The main character is in crisis and events leading up to
facing the conflict begin to unfold. The story becomes complicated.
c. Climax: At the peak of the story, a major event occurs in which the main
character faces a major enemy, fear, challenge, or other source of conflict.
The most action, drama, change, and excitement occurs here.
d. Falling Action: The story begins to slow down and work towards its end,
tying up loose ends.
e. Resolution/Denoument: Also known as the denouement, the resolution
is like a concluding paragraph that resolves any remaining issues and ends
the story.
4. DIALOGUE – This refers to the words written by the writer and spoken
by the characters in the play. It connotes action in the play.
Literary devices – these add texture, energy, and excitement to the

narrative, grip the reader’s imagination, and convey information as a form of
a narrative technique.
❖ Intertextuality denotes the way in which texts gain meaning

through their referencing or evocation of other texts.
Julia Kristeva, a poststructuralist, developed the term intertextuality,

in the 1960’s. Since then, this has been widely accepted by postmodern
literary critics and theoreticians. Basically, when writers borrow from
previous texts, their work acquires layers of meaning.
Different types of Intertextuality

These variations depend on two key factors: the intention of the writer
and the significance of the reference.
a. Obligatory – the writer deliberately invokes a comparison or association
between two or more texts.
b. Optional – has a less vital impact on the significance of the hypertext.
c. Accidental – it is when readers often connect a text with another text,
cultural practice, or a personal experience based on his/her prior
knowledge.
d. Citation – happens when the author is borrowing an idea or phrase from
someone else. It is about giving credit to the original author.
e. Allusion – is a particularly common form of deliberate intertextuality – it’s
when one text makes a deliberate, but subtle, reference to another.
f. Plagiarism – is stealing another person’s work without giving them proper
credit or permission.
g. Parody – an imitation of another text for satirical purpose; usually to
mock.
Example 1
Fan fiction is a great example of deliberate intertextuality. In fan fiction,
authors enter the fictional worlds of other authors and create their own
stories. For example, a Lord of the Rings fan fiction might tell the story of
minor characters or add new characters to the world of Middle Earth.
Example 2
Martin Luther King’s writing was heavily influenced by the work of
Mohandas Gandhi, especially in the area of nonviolent resistance. Much of
this intertextuality was deliberate, with King explicitly crediting Gandhi as
one of his influences. Scholars, however, have debated whether there might
have been other aspects of Gandhi’s writing, such as his aesthetic style, that
also influenced King in a more latent way.
Direction: Study the illustrations below and create your own dialogue on
the speech bubbles.
Directions: Below is an example of parody song by Michael Bustos entitled,
“Whole New World Parody” showcasing the different tourist spots in the
Philippines. The song has unique lyrics integrated with Filipino culture.
Now, compose your own parody song in any tune of your interest. Make
sure to use any type of intertextuality in your composition. Indicate your
reference and avoid plagiarism. (Write your composed song on a separate
paper.)
Note: Refrain from using vulgar or offensive language.
