Drama is more closely related to media (such as TV shows and movies) than the other literary forms we've studied. Would you characterize TV shows and movies as literature? Why or why not?
I would definitely define TV shows and movies as literature. Anything that tells a story can be considered literature. The drama in TV shows and movies can be considered one of the elements in the literature. Drama is one of the main aspects that draws the viewer attention to the show. It builds the suspense that hold the audience interest.
Drama could be a number of different things. It could be the suspense of a murder mystery or a simple argument between a couple on one of the soaps. The way the drama plays out is what is considered the art of the literature. The way a writer portrays the drama changes with each story making each story unique.
I notice a lot of drama in novels as well as TV shows and movies. One would not argue that a novel is a form of literature therefore a TV show and movie would also be place in this same category.
