Matters needing attention in the appreciation of drama literature
I. Theme and structure of the work
Theme is the basic idea expressed by the author through the whole content of the article when explaining things, expounding truth and encountering life. The theme reflects the author's writing intention. We can guess the author's intention through the analysis of the works, and different genres of articles have different expressions on the theme. Literary works are generally called themes or theme ideas, and general narration is called central ideas.
Structure is the organization and arrangement of article materials. Generally speaking, the structure is parallel, progressive and general. Transition and reference are components of structure. Transition is a cohesive transformation between superiors and subordinates. When an argumentative essay is handed over from total to sub-point, or from sub-point to sub-point, where flashback, sequence and narrative are inserted, overflow is often taken into account, which is the reaction of the content before and after the article.
Second, narrative description, lyrical discussion
Narration includes direct narration, flashback and insertion. Narration needs clear clues and appropriate details. People, time, place, event, cause and result are the six elements of narrative. People (such as "I" in Blessing), things (necklaces in necklaces), time and place can all be used as narrative clues.
Description is divided into character description, environment description, scene description and detail description. Character description includes portrait and psychological description of language behavior. Environmental description includes social environment and natural environment. There are "bird's eye view" and "close-up" in the scene description. Detail description can make works real and vivid, such as "burning" human blood steamed bread by Aunt Hua and fennel beans in Kong Yiji.
Description can be divided into meticulous painting and stick figure painting. Fine brushwork requires rich colors and meticulous carving, such as the description of Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions. Line drawing is just an understatement and a simple sketch, such as the description of Kong Yiji in Kong Yiji.
