Answer 1

The Answer is A.

There are two basic types of drama:

Tragedy - a serious, solemn play based on an important social, personal, or religious issue.
Comedy - a play that shows the humorous actions of characters when they try to solve social, personal, or religious problems.
Some of the first forms of documented drama come from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks performed both tragedies and comedies. Ancient tragedy - invented by the ancient Greeks to show the actions of a tragic hero or heroine. (Ex: Oedipus Rex.) tragic hero/heroine - the protagonist, or main character, in the play. Aspects of the Greek tragic hero: he/she must be of noble birth or hold an important social position he/she is generally virtuous he/she has a desire to do good deeds
he/she dies in the end of the play The hero/heroine seems "better" than the other character(s), but there is a fate which overpowers this "good" character. Poor judgment by the protagonist (hero/heroine) causes a fall from grace and social ranking. Poor judgment is a tragic flaw, or error, called hamatria. It leads to personal catastrophe and unintended harm to others. Hybris (hubris), which means excessive pride or arrogance, is the most common type of hamatria. A hero/heroine's misfortune is an example of human fallibility (human's tendency to fail).
Learning from the mistakes of others was an important part of Greek tragedy. Aspects of tragedy in Greek drama:
crisis of feeling - painful or harmful experience that may upset or depress the audience. catharsis/purgation - the audience cleanses their emotions. For example, they may feel uplifted and/or get a new sense of spiritual understanding or tragic pleasure. reversal/peripeteia - the hero/heroine goes through a significant change in fortune for the worse. Reversal may happen after a discovery (anagnorisis,)or a recognition of something previously not known to the hero/heroine.
Example: In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, Oedipus experiences a reversal when he gets the message that his father, Polybos, has died of old age. Oedipus is at first relieved to find out that the prophesy that he would kill his own father was wrong. Then his dread is renewed when the same message reveals that Polybos was not his biological father (Kennedy 871).
Ancient Greek Comedy - performed to show the humorous actions of one or more characters as they attempt to solve a problem. Aspects of Greek Comedy:
required action and conflict that led to a happy ending.
included ridiculing and violent personal attacks on contemporary personalities.
involved acting out of bawdy personal and social relationships.
as opposed to ancient Greek tragedy, a change in fortune is almost always for the better.

Answer 2

The answer is A: Comedy and Tragedy. There is actually a third type known as satyr (where our term satire comes from).
The ancients distinguished between tragedy and comedy in two ways. The first defined tragedy as a drama which concerns better than average people (heroes, kings, gods) who suffer a transition from good fortune to bad fortune, and who speak in an elevated language. Tragedy serves the purpose of purging the soul of the "fear and pity" which most of us carry around (Aristotle called this catharsis ). Comedy concerns average, or below average, people (people like you and me) who enjoy a transition from bad circumstances to good (but not too good) and who speak everyday language. All were a part of religious festivals for Dionysus. Usually presented in threes, a panel of judges awarded a prize for the best group of plays.

Answer 3

Two Types Of Drama

Answer 4

A. Comedy and Tragedy

Comedies don't always have to be funny. They just have to have a cheerful ending. Tragedies on the other hand have a bad ending where the main character either dies or loses everything he/she ever loved.
