What is melodrama?

melodrama refers to a dramatic work which exaggerates plot and characters in

order to appeal to the emotions. It may also refer to the genre which includes
such works, or to language, behavior, or events which resemble them. It is also
used in scholarly and historical musical contexts to refer to dramas of the 18th
and 19th centuries in which orchestral music or song was used to accompany the
action. The term originated from the early 19th-century French word mélodrame,
which in turn is derived from Greek melos (music) and French d

what is sentimental?
according to:Richard Holt Hutton Sentimentality is both a literary device used to induce a
tender emotional response disproportionate to the situation,[1] and thus to substitute
heightened and generally uncritical feeling for normal ethical and intellectual judgments, and a
heightened reader response willing to invest previously prepared emotions to respond
disproportionately to a literary situation.[2] "A sentimentalist", Oscar Wilde wrote Alfred
Douglas, "is one who desires to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it."[3] Yeats
wrote, "Rhetoric is fooling others. Sentimentality is fooling yourself."

In modern times[4] "sentimental" is a pejorative term that has been casually applied to works
of art and literature that exceed the viewer or reader's sense of decorum—the extent of
permissible emotion—and standards of taste: "excessiveness" is the criterion;[5] "Meretricious"
and "contrived" sham pathos are the hallmark of sentimentality, where the morality that
underlies the work is both intrusive and patAccording to the definition above, fate is a
series of inevitable events. To believe in fate, you must believe or accept that you have
no idea what is going on, but someone or something does. If you believe that the
universe is guided by some unseen force with some form of an ultimate plan, whatever
that may be, you have to accept that you don't understand that plan, you don't know that
plan, and you'll never understand that plan. Religion simplifies these and many other
principles of fate, but most religions still maintain one fundamental concept: we only
know in part; no matter the extent of our spiritual enlightenment, we will never fully
understand the higher power. Even though religion acknowledges that there are
mysterious workings of a supernatural nature, many religions still allege to know how to
determine one's fate; but how can you know. If fate is the belief in predetermined,
inevitable events, why are there so many explanations, so many religions to elucidate
it? Religion attempts to explain its own theory of existence, a theory of fate, but how can
you explain the unexplainable
.what is realism?

Realism in the visual arts and literature refers to the general attempt to depict subjects

"in accordance with secular empirical rules,"[1]as they are considered to exist in third
person objective reality, without embellishment or interpretation. As such, the approach
inherently implies a belief that such reality is ontologically independent of man's
conceptual schemes, linguistic practices and beliefs, and thus can be known (or
knowable) to the artist, who can in turn represent this 'reality' faithfully. As Ian
Watt states, modern realism "begins from the position that truth can be discovered by
the individual through the senses" and as such "it has its origins inDescartes and Locke,
and received its first full formulation by Thomas Reid in the middle of the eighteenth
century."[2]
Realism often refers more specifically to the artistic movement, which began
in France in the 1850s. These realists positioned themselves against romanticism, a
genre dominating French literature and artwork in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Purporting to be undistorted by personal bias, Realism believed in the ideology
of objective reality and revolted against the exaggerated emotionalism of the romantic

What is fate?

fate is the supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events, as well as the
inevitable events predestined by this force. Those who believe in fate, believe (whether
directly or indirectly) that their stay on earth has been decided long before they became
a resident of said planet. So here we are, an insignificant blurb, on a planet not bigger
than a speck of dust (in the grand scheme of things), hurtling (seemingly) endlessly
through space, progressing towards some fate decided by the cosmos and therefore out
of our understanding. We can, however, at least try to grasp what it truly means to
accept fate and then determine whether or not to believe in it.

According to the definition above, fate is a series of inevitable events. To believe in fate,
you must believe or accept that you have no idea what is going on, but someone or
something does. If you believe that the universe is guided by some unseen force with
some form of an ultimate plan, whatever that may be, you have to accept that you don't
understand that plan, you don't know that plan, and you'll never understand that plan.
Religion simplifies these and many other principles of fate, but most religions still
maintain one fundamental concept: we only know in part; no matter the extent of our
spiritual enlightenment, we will never fully understand the higher power. Even though
religion acknowledges that there are mysterious workings of a supernatural nature,
many religions t. Truth and accuracy became the goals of many Realists.
