Introduction to Macbeth Drama Terms Introduction to Macbeth

Drama Terms Use your textbook to define the following terms: 1. Act 2. Aside 3. Atmosphere 4. Comic Relief 5. Foreshadowing 6. Imagery 7. Irony (ALL 3 types!!)

Drama Terms, Cont… 8. Metaphor 9. Paradox 10. Scene 11. Simile 12. Soliloquy 13. Tragedy 14. Comedy 15. History (These 3 are all types of plays)

The Basic Outline of a Shakespearean Play 1. Exposition—This is where the historical and background information is revealed. We need to know this info before we can understand what is happening in the play. 2. Rising action—This is where things start to get exciting. Conflicts begin to arise; problems begin to surface; tension mounts. 3. Climax—This is the peak of the excitement in the play. The action reaches its highest point here; conflict occurs.

Outline, cont’d… Falling action—This is where things start to settle down; the conflicts simmer down Denoument—This is the play’s resolution. “Resolution” does not mean it ends happily. Particularly in a Shakespearean tragedy, it means everybody DIES! 
