Kinds of Drama Tragedy- ends in the downfall or death of a protagonist. May include comic relief. Comedy- show ordinary people in conflict with society. These usually arise from misunderstandings, deceptions, disapproving with authority figures, and mistaken identity. They are always resolved happily!

Original Globe was 3 stories and held about 3000 people. Aside from the other owners (The Lord Chamberlain’s Men)Shakespeare’s only owned 12% of the theatre/ The Globe

All classes of people attended plays there. No roof so that they had sun light. So, plays had to be during the day. People often skipped work to go. Was not allowed to be built in the city of London because crowds often became rowdy. The Globe

Wealthy people sat on benches Groundlings, “poor people”, had to stand and watch from the courtyard –Women frowned upon (had to wear masks to attend) –Threw rotten vegetables at bad performance There was much more audience participation than today The Audience

What is a Soliloquy?Soliloquy A soliloquy :a character relates his or her thoughts and feelings to him/herself and no one is supposed to hear. Romeo’s Soliloquy-Act 2 Scene 2 He jests at scars that never felt a wound. But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love!

Monologue A monologue: It is meant to be heard by others.

An Incredible Monologue

Aside speaks to the audience but the characters on stage can’t hear it.

Stage directions Instructions, about the setting costumes, lighting, scenery, and props used onstage. Stage directions are printed in italics and sometimes in parentheses.

Foreshadowing the foretelling of a future event.. Friar Lawrence warns Romeo that his romance with Juliet is rash and hurried. His warnings are an example of Foreshadowing.

Dramatic Irony When the audience knows more about an unfolding situation than the character that is experiencing it. For example, the audience knows that Juliet took a sleeping potion and isn't really dead. Romeo's suicide affects the audience even more because of this knowledge.

Antagonist The chief opponent of the protagonist in a drama. In some cases there may be several antagonists. Protagonist: The principle character in the play; the one around whom the play focuses. The main character.

Prologue An introductory speech delivered to the audience by one of the actors before the play begins. Prologues are also very common in Shakespearean theatre.

Epilogue A speech addressed to the audience after the conclusion of the play and spoken by one of the performers. Shakespeare used this device in many of his play.

PUN A play on words. EX: 1. Funny twist on a word. (That is very “punny”). EX: 2. homonyms: multiple meanings (“grave” means 2 things and spellings (sun and son).

Catharsis A Greek word that Aristotle used in his definition of tragedy. It refers to vicarious cleansing of certain emotions in the members of the audience through those seeing emotions on stage.
