Narrative, Lyric, and Drama are the three general literary forms into which writing , especially poetry , has traditionally been grouped.
A narrative tells a story or a tale; drama is presented on a stage, where actors embody characters; lyric has been loosely defined as any short poem other than narrative and drama, where poets express their state of mind. Narrative Narrative or story telling developed from ritualistic chanting of myths, and has traditionally been grouped into two poetic categories, epic and ballad. The stories were not memorized as is generally assumed but instead bards improvised oral chants, relying on heavy alliterative and assonantal techniques, which seemed to put both the bard and the audience into a trance Preminger An epic is a long non-stanzaic "poem on a great and serious subject, told in an elevated style, and centered on a heroic or quasi-divine figure on whose actions depends the fate of a tribe, a nation, or the human race" Abrams Typical figures include demi-gods, kings, and military heroes.
Even a millennium before Homer, bards were recording an already ancient oral tradition of epic poems in Sumer and Egypt Preminger More modern epic poems have been recorded in Spain and France, the Ottoman Empire, and as late as the 20th century in the Balkans. Stylistically similar to epics, the ballads are story poems that could be chanted in groups about common people.
When written down, they are typically divided into abcb -rhymed stanzas to emphasize the elements of song. Repetitive frames are also frequent within the poem, and the narrative itself is episodic and abrupt in transitions.
Common themes include courage in war and stories of love. During the Middle Ages, narrative poems transformed into courtly romance stories — Christian stories about heroic knights and the spiritual temptations they face on their journey, such as the Arthurian legends.
Many of these stories also reduced to religious allegories, such as the epics of saints' lives. Drama Drama in Western civilization has had two parallel beginnings, both related to religious celebration: the first in Ancient Greece and the second in medieval church plays.
