| Drama: How Do I Read a Play? By Nelsie Gómez | A Written script translated into performances |
| Reading Vs Watching | In a play, actors will give you the interpretation of the lines, but when you are reading, you have to read in your mind or out loud to get the emotions of the script. |
| ♪ Visualize the scene: How the stage looks like in your mind following the description of the script (physical space). ♪ Envision the action: this is the nonverbal language such as gestures, movements, and expressions. | |
| Dramatic Structure: ♪ Fable or plot ♪ Agon or argument | The pros and cons of conflict presented by the protagonist(s) and antagonist surround the agon. |
| The Usual pattern of the structure can have the number of acts the scriptwriter wants. (Prologue or point of attack) |

| Tone and Humor | ♪ A situation, object, or character to laugh at. ♪ Exageration = Incongruity. ♪ Same or classic situations. ♪ New and unexpected. |
| Tone and Irony: The contradiction | ♪ Verbal: to say the opposite of what is meant. ♪ Situational: what happens is different from what is expected. ♪ Cosmic: pessimistic. Even if you try to change, the universe conspires against you. ♪ Dramatic: Characters don't know or misunderstand the situation, but we, as readers, know everything perfectly. |
| Theme or Idea: Meaning or significance | ♪ Idea: a word. ♪ Assertion: a sentence where the idea is developed. ♪ Value: What we desire of the idea. |

The situation is the circumstances where the character can be found and action is what a character does with a motivation. Taking into consideration the previously mentioned, a situation and action can lack an idea or ideas, but the ideas are identified through actions and situations. |
