Fictio Drama

Actio dramatis in theatro, ab actoribus super pulpito ante audientiam collaborativos productionis modos et conlectivum receptionis genus sumit. Structura textuum dramaticorum, aliorum litterarum generum sic dissimilis, ab hac productione conlaborativa et receptione conlectiva recta impellitur. Hamlet, tragoedia Anglica Gulielmi Shakesperii (1601), et Oedipus rex, tragoedia classicum Athenarum Sophoclis (circa 429 a.C.n.), sunt inter opera artis dramaticae summo artificio facta. Exemplum hodiernum est Long Day's Journey into Night Eugenii O'Neill (1956).

Personae duae cum dramate consociatae usitatam divisionem genericam inter comoediam et tragoediam repraesentant. Quae Thaliam et Melpomenen, Musas Graeciae antiquae, imitantur: Thalia musa comoediae (vultu ridente), Melpomene musa tragoediae (vultu flente). Discrepatus est modus dramaticus, plerumque genus poesis habitus, cum modis epico et lyrico post Poeticam Aristotelis vulgatam (circa 335 a.C.n.)—primum opus theoriae dramaticae.

Drama saepe cum musica et saltatione coniungitur: drama in opera usitate penitus canitur; ludi musici plerumque diverbium et cantus habent; et in nonnullis dramatis generibus, insigniter inter quae melodrama et Nō Iaponiensi, musica incidentalis vel adiunctio diverbium exornat. Certis historiae temporibus (in antiquo Romano et hodierno Romantico), nonnulla dramata ad legenda potius in scaena repraesentata scripta sunt.
