Nonfiction stories

Drama
poetry is a storytelling poem. It has
characters, a setting, a plot, and sometimes dialogue, just
like a short story or a novel. However, it is written in verse
(poetic lines) instead of paragraphs.
Narrative
Poetry is shorter than narrative poetry and focuses on expressing personal emotions, thoughts or feelings
Lyric
Comedies are lighter in tone than ordinary works, and
provide a happy conclusion. The intention of dramatists in
comedies is to make their audience laugh. Hence, they use
quaint circumstances, unusual characters, and witty remarks.
Comedy
Tragic dramas use darker themes, such as disaster,
pain, and death. Protagonists often have a tragic flaw — a
characteristic that leads them to their downfall.
Tragedy
is a nonsensical genre of drama, which
often overacts or engages slapstick humor
Farce
is an exaggerated drama, which is
sensational and appeals directly to the senses of the audience.
Just like the farce, the characters are of a single dimension and
simple, or may be stereotyped.
Melodrama
dramatists not only tell their
stories through acting and dialogue, but through dance as well as
music. Often the story may be comedic, though it may also involve
serious subjects.
Musical drama
