Renaissance actually means REBIRTH

in 1660 everything was restored and the atmosphere of the scene was better especially for the fact that even women were introduced in the theatre

after this period we have uncertaintly.The order of the universe is broken and consequently in the scene we have disillusionment and cynicisms

ELIZABETHAN TRAGEDIES ARE OFTEN POLITICAL MESSAGES FOR THE AUDIENCE

in this time, the themes of the tragedies revolve around the basic dualism order/disorder

now, the english authors don't follow anymore the classic tradition because

they don't follow anymore the Aristotle's Poetics. They mix tragic and comic elements.

Seneca's features are : Revenge theme, bloody scenes, use of ghosts and division of the play into five acts

the most used model in the theatre is SENECA

the theatre takes inspiration from the medieval and classical genres

it takes from the medieval the moralities and the interludes

it takes from the classical the elegance because the authors follow the Greek and Latin culture

the tragic HERO is

a person from a privileged social position

a pesrson of high moral qualites

the hero accepts his inevitable consequences with courage

the tragedy follows a structure of five acts :

introduction

development

crisis

decline

final outcome with catastrophe

we don't have the narration, because we only have characters that speak and consequently we have the catharsis that is the purification from all the emotions

IS AN IMITATION OF A SERIOUS ACTION

TRAGEDY

features of the drama theatre : we have the masque that is a representation with the help of music, danse and song. Then we have the interlude that is a drammatic enternaiment

the important thing now is that this type of theatre is for EVERYONE

it was a theatre for the middle class

the classical theatre was a difficult theatre to understand
