What are the basic features of drama?

1, the comprehensiveness of art, drama art should follow the extremely complex and mutually restrictive characteristics of many art categories, and it has a variety of aesthetic values. In addition to the performance based on physical art, it also includes literature, art, music, dance and other elements, but drama is not the sum of various elements, which constitute an organic whole in drama, thus making drama a brand-new independent art.

2. Intuitiveness of image. Is drama art an art of action or an art of imitation? People's art is in action, and characters should have strong intuitive actions. Therefore, drama is an intuitive performance of actors in the stage space, and it can infect people by showing the "events" of actors and audiences in the stage space.

Characters, environment and plot development are all intuitive presentations, unlike other literary works, which can only be indirectly presented in the mind through reading and imagination.

3. Contradictions are concentrated. The essential feature of drama is to directly and intensively reflect social contradictions and conflicts. Without conflict, there would be no drama. Because the script is limited by space and performance time, the real life reflected by the plot must be condensed in the contradictions and conflicts suitable for stage performance.

Contradictions and conflicts in the script can be roughly divided into four parts: occurrence, development, climax and ending. In the performance, it is necessary to attract the audience from the time when the contradiction occurs, and the time when the contradiction develops to the most intense is called climax. At this time, the plot is also the most attractive and wonderful.
