English 235- Introduction to Drama: This coursework has been given as an entryway to the genre of dramatic literature through a sampling of major works from distinct periods of Western literature. It has introduced us, as students, to fundamental concepts such as structure and theme, among others. Through this coursework, we are able to read and write critically about drama. This can be translated to being able to read, think, and write critically in other forms of communication forms, such as professional literature.
