what is narative lyric and dramatic
Answer (1)
Three prominent forms of poetry are narrative, lyric, and dramatic poetry, and they are all defined by quite distinct characteristics:Narrative poetry: Definition: tells a story; includes a beginning, middle, and an end; with characters and events.Characteristics: can have things like a setting, conflict, and resolution. They can be lengthy and take stanzas of different lengths.Examples: it can include epic poems such as "The Iliad" or narrative ballads.Lyric Poetry: Definition: conveys a person's feelings or emotions in a poetic and musical (rhythmic) manner.Characteristics: much shorter than narrative poetry; doesn't have a storyline; relates to feelings. Poets frequently use imagery and metaphors; they sometimes feel the reader's feelings.Examples: lyric poetry can include sonnets, odes, elegies, and a host of other things.Dramatic Poetry: Definition: is written in play-dramatic literary form; takes the form of a script, and is meant to be performed.Characteristics: often has characters that speak to one another, can include conflict, and express tension. Dramatic poetry expresses emotion to its audience in performance.Examples: include dramatic poetry, for example, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot, or a rigorous, impassionate, serious argument in his dramatic, critical, poetic monologue.Each form represents a different purpose and experience. Each reflects the richness of potential poetic experiences.Hope this helps ☺️
