DescriptionDo you want to master Drama? I have tried in this course to give you a detailed discussion on the steps you take in the analysis of a play with critical reading skills. This is very important because they are tools you need to possess before you can appreciate, understand and criticize any play. I have also tried to show you how to analyze plays by identifying the dramatic elements and other devices used and how appropriate they are.
The reading of a play may be for an examination, entertainment or even for a job. If, for instance, you secure a job as a literary editor in a print or even an electronic media, you need to know these techniques very well to aide you in your job. Who knows you may aspire to write a play, so the knowledge you will acquire in this course will be of immense benefit to you.
