Identification

1. In community, read the following text:

In ancient Greece, people used plays to tell stories using dialogues to teach moral lessons. Some plays were serious and showed the struggles of characters like Oedipus and Antigone, who represented the dignity of human beings in the face of challenges imposed by fate and the whims of their gods. Others were funny and pointed out the silly or bad things people do, like overeating or being envious, or having what were considered physical disabilities or any other characteristics portrayed exaggeratedly.

Among the many areas he mastered, Aristotle, a wise Greek philosopher, made fantastic contributions to literature as the first great thinker to have classified different literary texts.

According to Aristotle, literary texts could be classified as follows:

D The epic genre. The text is written in verse and it is based on real or imaginary events. This genre was the origin of what we now call narrative. Examples: The lliad and the Odyssey.

The lyrical genre. The text is mainly written in verse but also found in prose. It expresses emotions and thoughts from the"poetic self" and it may or may not tell a particular story.Examples: "Hombres necios que acusáis" by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and "Ode to Aphrodite" by Sappho of Lesbos.

The dramatic genre. The text is written in the form of dialogues for stage performance. It can be in prose or verse.Examples: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and Oedipus Rex by Sophocles.

A dramatic text can help a community express its most immediate and painful problems by processing, exposing, and attempting to solve them.
