(Classical Greek: δράω, drao).
 Drama

performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc.,
performed in a theatre, or on radio or television.

dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic
and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c.
335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory.
 Romance

type of genre fiction novel which places its primary
focus on the relationship and romantic love between
two people, and usually has an "emotionally satisfying
and optimistic ending." However, precursors include
authors of literary fiction, such as Samuel Richardson,
Jane Austen, and Charlotte Brontë.

 and science fiction.
 What Is the Horror Genre?

 Horror is a genre of literature, film, and television that is

meant to scare, startle, shock, and even repulse
audiences. The key focus of a horror novel is to elicit a
sense of dread in the reader through frightening images,
themes, and situations.
 In the horror genre, story and characters are just as
important as mood and atmosphere. A horror story often
shocks and provokes with its exploration of the unknown.
 Horror fiction

 The horror genre in literature dates back to

Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, where horror
stories explored themes related to death,
demons, evil spirits, and the afterlife. Examples
include the ancient Greek tragedy Hippolytus by
Euripides, a gruesome story about how jealousy
and a lack of empathy can lead to tragedy.
