  Miracle drama is a special kind of religious drama. The object of these plays was the heroic character. Those heroes are the sages and the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the religion. The play is based on special events related to the characters. The events brought to light for this play are untrue. Myths are events. However, these plays are about miracles. It is also how interference in the affairs of human life takes place. The play was performed mostly during the festivals of the respective sages. There were special drama groups for each of the sages. They composed the play based on a special event of the sage and performed it in front of the audience at the ceremony. The play was not as well known as the rest of the series. Nevertheless, this miracle drama is considered to be one of the most important forms of drama in medieval Europe. Thank you... 🙏

The form of the lyric plays is the way it is presented in the song as a whole. It is said that this was popularized with Catholic hymns. The songs in these are very rustic.

In those days, only the male party acted in large numbers in lyric dramas. Sometimes a female character was played by a male. The form and nature of this lyrical drama is that of singing and dancing. The play also uses a variety of instruments. Gatabera, Dawul, Udakki and Yakbera are the main instruments. Old Sadakiduru, Maname etc. Poetry plays are included in this category . Thank you... 🙏

  A story or a drama is built on the background of an event. It works by associating with any person or persons involved in the events. Therefore, if there is an animate as well as an inanimate part where the action takes place, they are called characters. Characterization is the interpretation of characters that are so active. According to Aristotle's theory, the first thing to do is to adjust the plot. Second place goes to character portrayal. Aristotle states that the play's action is not intended to mimic the characters of Aristotle's poetry, but that the characters are formed as a result of the action. Aristotle states that tragedy without action is complete, and that tragedy can be complete without characterization. Aristotle mentions these facts in the play, especially on the subject of tragedy. He states that this situation is also present in the epic. Thank you... 🙏
