In Greek mythology, Medea is a
sorceress who was the daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis, niece
of Circe,
granddaughter of the sun god Helios, and later wife to the hero Jason, with whom she
had two children, Mermeros and Pheres.
In Euripides's
play Medea, Jason leaves Medea when Creon, king of Corinth,
offers him his daughter, Glauce. The play tells of Medea avenging her husband's
betrayal by killing their children.
●Lysistrata-
Originally
performed in classical Athens in 411 BC, it is a comic
account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian
War.
Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their
husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a
strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes.
>> Comedy is different from Farce. Comedy
has a message to deliever, yet Farce is just for entertainment.
Aristotle's Poetics
is
the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on
literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which
in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama—comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play—as
well as lyric poetry and epic poetry).
→Form:
Rules for the
construction of an epic: Tragic pleasure, or catharsis experienced
by fear and pity should be produced in the spectator.
The characters must be four things: good,
appropriate, realistic, and consistent. Discovery must occur within the plot.
The poet should incorporate complication and dénouement within the story, as
well as combine all of the elements of tragedy.
The poet must express
thought through the characters' words and actions, while paying close attention
to diction and how a character's spoken words express a specific idea. Aristotle believed that all of these different elements
had to be present in order for the poetry to be well-done.
Mimesis, "to
imitate," is a critical and
philosophical term that carries a wide range
of meanings, which include imitation, representation, mimicry, imitatio,
receptivity, nonsensuous similarity, the act of resembling, the act of
expression, and the presentation of the self.
●Classical unities-
The classical
unities, Aristotelian unities, or three unities are
rules for drama derived
from a passage
in Aristotle's Poetics.
In their neoclassical form they are as follows: unity of action, place and time.
●How to Take Great Notes
There are three steps in this method.
First, don’t write down facts,
write down conclusion. Also, it’s better to use a Q&A approach to test
yourself whether you really grasp the point, and give an example to it.
Second, use
color pens.
Third,
you can review by trying to teach others.
