but today can focus on ordinary people.

of vocal pieces with instrumental accompaniment and

characters. It is highly emotional, focusing on exciting
but over-the-top situations that are designed to
encourage emotional responses in the audience.

FARCE

aesthetically inferior to comedy in its crude
characterizations and implausible plots, but it has been
sustained by its popularity in performance and has
persisted throughout the Western world to the present.
DOCUDRAMA

well as a documentary. Docudrama is actually a
dramatic representation of real-life events. This genre
allows the creation of staged situations that portray a
historical event, while sticking to the facts.

Summary
Prose is a form of literature that goes with the flow
of a normal conversation. While, Poetry commonly
have a metrical structure and rhyme, all the while
describing a scene or story. Drama however is the
specific mode of fiction/non-fiction represented in
theatres, or on radio or television. In other words,
no matter what genre or classification of literature
is available, it is better to read the text of what
you're interested in.
