Prose Elements and Drama Structure
The intrinsic element of prose consists of plot, theme, character and characterization, setting / setting, point of view, style, imagery, and mandate. Plot or plot is the structure of a series of events in a story that is arranged as a functional interrelation which at the same time marks the order of the parts in the whole of fiction, that in general the fictional plot consists of:
Open flow, ie the situation unfolds as an initial condition that will be continued with the next condition;
Middle groove, ie conditions begin to move toward conditions that start to peak;
The peak flow, which is the condition of reaching the peak point as the climax of events; and Groove closed
In other words, the storyline includes exposure, conflict, climax and resolution.
The eight elements complement each other in a prose. Themes, for example, are central to inspiring stories. Likewise, the characterization that characterizes the character becomes the messenger that the author wants, both evil and good. In order for this characterization to look more alive, it is supported by the setting / setting of the story, style, imagery and mandate.
Extrinsic Element of Prose
Extrinsic elements of fiction prose are all external factors underlying the creation of literary works such as sociological values, historical values, moral values, psychological values. It is the author's subjective value which can be in the form of social conditions, motivations, tendencies that encourage and influence one's authorship. In turn, the extrinsic element that actually exists outside the literary work is sufficient to help literary reviewers understand and enjoy the work at hand. In-depth experience and the introduction of extrinsic elements enable a reviewer to be able to interpret literary works more precisely.
The level of appreciation values in fictional prose are inorganic neveau, vegetative neveau, neveau animal, neveau humanist, and metaphysical / transcendental neveau.
Understanding Drama Behavior in Reality Simulation
Drama is a practice that mimics behavior in real life to provide confirmation and alternatives for life itself. Because what is emphasized is behavior, words / dialogue in drama must be understood as an inseparable part of the whole situation of human interaction or communication which involves not only the words / dialogue itself, but also the situation surrounding the dialogue, such as who dialogue, when and where the dialogue took place, and why the dialogue was expressed. Thus, in drama practice we see unity between words, deeds, and situations. The nature of this unity is very suitable or similar to the circumstances that take place in the life of real human communication. Therefore, drama can function as a media to simulate reality, namely media to smooth and develop human beings and their culture through the inculcation of cultural / religious values, the delivery of new thoughts, and the delivery of social criticism.
Drama Structure
As a complete script, drama is built by several interrelated elements, namely dialogue, staging instructions, plot, and character. Dialogue is the utterance of a particular character which is then followed by the utterance of another character. It is through the rotation of the characters' words that all information is expressed slowly from the beginning to the end of the drama. That's why the position of dialogue is very important and important in drama. In addition, information is also provided through the staging instructions.
Staging instructions are side texts that function to provide guidance on various aspects of the performance, namely aspects of character, speech, and design. This text may be contained in dialogue (intradialog) and may also be outside dialogue (extradialog). The next drama element is the plot, which is the pattern of the arrangement of events in the drama that makes these events interrelated logically, intactly, and meaningfully. The events in the drama naturally arise because of the actions of the characters / characters with all its psychological, moral, social, and physical characteristics.
