Dramatic language and script lines;
The language of drama includes two parts, one is the lines of the characters, and the other is the stage description of the author. Of the two, lines naturally dominate, so what we usually call dramatic language refers to lines.
Lines are the words spoken by the characters in the script, the main means used by playwrights to express the plot, portray the characters and embody the theme, and also the basic component of the script.
The lines of the play are:
The lines of a play generally include dialogue, monologue and narration. The lines in western operas are mainly poetic lyrics; In China opera, it is a comprehensive application of rhyming lyrics and Sanqu chanting.
Opera aria is a musical artistic language, which can be divided into three forms: prose and verse. Dialogue is the dialogue between characters in the script and the main form of drama lines.
A monologue is a line spoken by a character alone on the stage. It developed from classical tragedy and was widely used in Renaissance drama. It is an artistic means to pour out the inner feelings and thoughts of the characters directly to the audience, and is often used in the most intense and complicated scenes of the inner activities of the characters.
Narrator is a line that the character speaks directly to the audience on the stage, assuming that it is not heard by other characters on the same stage. The content is mainly the evaluation of the other party and the disclosure of my inner activities. In China traditional opera, "cheating on marriage" is a narrative.
In script creation, lines are an important factor to determine the artistry of dramatic works. Drama is different from novels and other literary styles. It is not narrated by the author to the readers, but only expresses everything by the characters' own language and actions. Therefore, lines are the only language means that can be used on the stage of drama, and the writing and arrangement of lines become an important part of drama skills.
