After attending drama lectures and tutorials for nearly 7 weeks, I learnt on how to analyze a play in detail. Analyzing a play is not very easy as finding out the theme, setting and plot only. We have to know the background of the author and the century in when the play is written; these are important to get the deep meaning of the play and on why it is written.
I also learnt on how to teach a play. The activities that are carried out in tutorials are very much helpful for me to understand the play in detail so I believe that similar activities will help my students to understand plays in the future. The techniques and questions given also enhance our understanding and interest in studying plays.

I agree with you that analysing play is not easy. I think most of us need time and practice to do so. It does not matter which kind of literary works, we need to do research for it and re-read the literary work in order to get the meaning. So, learning how to analyse is important as it is a way of discvering and appreciating the play.
ReplyDeleteI think that the activities in tutorials help us as well. I treat them as practices and also a way to understand the plays better.
