History of Theater

After being introduced the History of Theater, I found it interesting that eventually theater was a performance of the ancient Greece, which was meant to develop religious rites in honor of the Gods or to mark the coming of spring. And how it has develop from a religious rites to a Modern Theater where the stage were beautifully decorated and illuminated by candles, to enable the play to be perform at night. Besides that I also come to know that there are two main categories in drama. The first category is tragedy, which it is about human fallibility and reversal of fortune. The character in a tragedy play will experience falling from a high position such as from rich to poor or from a royalty to a commoner, and it is always a result of the characters own doing. On the other hand, a comedy treats themes and characters with humor and typically has a happy ending. Unlike tragedy comedy focuses on the public persona, the protagonist as a social being.
