When one personifies a trait to being a person then the audience is able to relate to that personality. This relation is through the different actions of the virtues and vices. As well as the appearance of these characters would help one see how they can live their lives with these virtues/vices. Having these characters on stage in stead of just having a lectures helps because the audience experiences what the main character had experienced. When one experiences something is much stronger than for one to simply hear a lecture from someone. Creating this play would be a great lesson for the play. This works as a drama because the main character would have an internal conflict of the not having these virtues/vices as his friends. The end having found these virtues/vices and how one can obtain them. Also helping the church teach what one needs to get into heaven.
Emotion does play a rather large role in allowing most people to understand.
ReplyDeleteYes, plays that are act teach more of an emotional affect which makes the play memorable. I don't really think that it helps as a church sermon, but it does show good morals. What else could you identify?
