PART A

1. Drama defines as an expressive process which is best understood through the idea of
symbolization and its role in the discovery and communication of meaning. it also goes
on to explain that drama is 'multi-faceted' and that he child gains experience through
voice, language, the body as prime means of expression; and the associated media of
light, sound and space (McGregor 24)
2. Three kinds of drama in Greek are Comedy, Tragedy and Satyr plays
3. Tragedy comedy or what we called Tragicomedy is fictional work that blends aspects of
the genres of tragedy and comedy. In English literature, from Shakespeare's time to the
nineteenth century, tragicomedy referred to a serious play with either a happy ending or
enough jokes throughout the play to lighten the mood while Black Dark Comedy is
usually regarded as taboo, treated in an unusually humorous or satirical manner while
retaining their seriousness. The intent of black comedy, therefore, is often for the
audience to experience both laughter and discomfort, sometimes even simultaneously

4. A 'flat' character is a drama character that does not change in the course of a story or
play; A 'flat' character is one who is one-dimensional, often characterized through one
feature or mannerism. He or she is a type, a 'caricature', or someone who behaves with
little depth and complexity and a 'rounded' character is more complex, where it can
surprise the reader with his or her actions, and can change or grow over the course of a
book or play. In general, flat characters are simple, and rounded characters are
complex.
5. 5 genres belong to drama are
a. Sangkuriang
b. Extravaganza
c. Soap opera
d. Office boy
e. Suami-suami takut istri
6. Drama can be analyzed as follows: drama isn't like stories or poems--it's written to be
acted out, not read (even though you have to read them in English class). So try to
imagine the play on a stage (or movie screen) in your head, with actors. Second: if you
do this, does something interesting happen? What? Why? And, so what?
Plays aren't about nice descriptions of things--they're about characters who want
something and try to get it, and by the end of the play either they get it or they don't.
And along the way they run into people or things who either help them or try to stop
 them. So: who's the main character? What do they want? What do they do to get it?
Who or what tries to stop them? What does the main character do when somebody tries
to stop them--give up? Change course? Fight harder? And in the end, what does it all
mean--what's the message you get out of it about how to live your own life? Yes: they
talk a lot. But they talk as part of trying to get what they want.
7. Tragic flaw means a weakness or limitation of character, resulting in the fall of the
tragic hero. Othello’s jealousy and to trusting is one example.
