MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
• Theater of the era is generally separated into the genres of
tragedy and comedy.
• The Romans took theater, like all things, from the Greek.
• The Roman theater was a method of absorbing the public into
stories and ideas that gave a religious sanction to the society and
its expansion.
• Roman theater could take either dramatic or comedic forms.
Both served a social purpose as a way of "Romanizing" the
spectators or acting as a catharsis for social pressures and
problems.
• Drama had a tendency to reflect Roman problems and political
issues, safely symbolized in dramatic forms.
• Comedy was more social and less political or military.
• Performances often featured men as good fathers whose
character flaws developed out of devotion rather than ignorance.

religious, social, the order of nature, government and literary
forms.

ideal models to elevate medievalism and elements of art
and narrative perceived to be authentically medieval.
• The individual emotions, feelings, and expressions of
artists.

great stress on the individual, unique experience of an
artist/writer.

CONTEXT
Began in the 19th-century theatre, around the

realism in Russia.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
• Trasparent lenguage
• Objective views of reality through the study of customs of psychological character. Any subjective element is eliminated, as well as any fantastic event and emotion that derives from reality.
• Defense of a thesis: each narrator write his works from his own moral point of view, even though it may compromise the objectivity of the narrative. This is called omniscient narrator.
• Issues which are close to the reader: like conflicts in marriage, infidelity, defense of one's ideals...
• Use of colloquial language: the language spoken by the characters has to be as similar as possible to the language they might use in real life, so as not to detract from the veracity of the novel.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
• Physiology as the cause to the character's conduct.
• Satire and social criticism: naturalist novels aren't simply a pastime, they're a
seriously detailed study of social problems, and it tried to find the causes.
• Understanding of literature as a weapon for political, philosophical and social
combat.
• Topics can revolve around social illnesses and other disagreeable aspects of
life, so the Naturalist writers can't hesitate when writing about the most crude
and unpleasant things of social life.
• Adoption of sex-related topics as the central element in novels as a
manifestation of a social illness and vices. This is why so many Naturalist
works talk about prostitution as a social evil and individual tragedy.

anguish and frustration discover it.
• Pessimism: Existentialists are characterized by a marked
pessimism in their ideas.
• The fact of creating its own essence: existentialism raises
that only man exists and that a regret of having a marked
pessimism is a positivism in being able to create one's
essence.

Esmeralda: I like this kind of works because I can see the differences in the way
people write, I mean, at some point they get a way to write and change with the
pass of the time
Luis Carlón: I think that some persons (Including me) thing that theatre are kind of
boring or maybe not just good enough to give him a chance but with this research
my opinion might change a little bit, well I think the principal reason of why theatre
is so underestimated is because we are so adapt to the movie and how are they
presented with all the color and CGI that can have that makes our imagination not
work enough because they are giving everything, but the theatre is just talent and
imagination and performance from those that are in the stage en backstage.
Juan Nava: This type of work I like a lot, since they help me to know an important
part of the literature, which in the personal is also one of the most beautiful and
interesting.

Daniela: It was really interesting to do this work because I learn more about things
that I really didn't know, honestly the best for me was Classical Greece because I
think it was really interesting the way they competed and I like it because I think
its nice that the contest was in the spring festival just to honor a god. I also think
that there are others that are interesting like Classical Greece.
Ares: Doing this activity helped me to realize how the theater was changed through
history, since many things were modified as the characteristics of the scenarios,
the theme of the works presented, the purpose of the performance, the actors,
the characterizations, among many other aspects that were modified.
