Topic 2: 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?
Plays are considered literature so why not TV shows and movies. They are pretty much taped plays. They both have scripts and dialogue and characters. While TV shows and movies may not be considered classic literature, I feel they should be characterized as literature nonetheless. The writers of the scripts of these shows and movies went through the same things that a playwright did. They both probably had many sleepless nights and many rewrites of a script until they got it exactly they way they wanted it. I would characterize TV shows and movies as modern literature. I feel that they show how literature has evolved over the years.
