Types of Drama: Tragedy, Comedy, Tragicomedies, and Melodrama
Drama offers various types—from tragedy (like Shakespeare), comedy (which entertains), to tragicomedy (a bittersweet blend), and melodrama (emotions dialed high).
Comedy: Laughter and Triumph
Comedy focuses on humor, light situations, and triumphs. Characters may stumble but often overcome adversity with punchlines. Comedy is the cinematic equivalent of a sunny day.
Melodrama: Emotions on Steroids
Melodrama intensifies emotions for stronger audience reactions through sensational plots and characters. Imagine soap operas, but bigger in scale.
