Titel: Quest for Self-Knowledge

Stichwort: Drama, Rolle, Handlung

Kurzinhalt: Definition von Drama; zweifache Spannungen in einem Drama; Begriffe "role" und "plot"

Textausschnitt: A drama, therefore, can be defined as the dialectical unfolding of a plot among the characters as they motivate themselves and one another toward a final destiny of success or failure. Such a destiny seems to flow from their decisions and actions and, at the same time, seems to transcend their intentions.
