1.1 While different sub-genres of drama may have distinct features,
there are eight features which all plays have. Identify four features
from the excerpt and discuss each feature with evidence from the text.
Drama, as a literary genre, possesses distinct features that differentiate
it from other forms of storytelling. Analyzing Master Maid: A Tale of
Norway, we can identify several key elements that define it as a
dramatic work. These include narrators, dialogue, characters, and plot.
Firstly, the use of narrators is a prominent feature. In this excerpt,
multiple narrators (Narrator 1, Narrator 2, Narrator 3, and Narrator 4)
provide context, describe actions, and guide the audience through the
story (Pfister, 1977). For example:
NARRATOR 1: Once there was a lad named Leif.
NARRATOR 4: Now, Leif was a likeable fellow, and handsome to boot.
NARRATOR 2: But he never wanted to listen to anyone,
NARRATOR 3: and he always had to do things his own way.
