Q & A

What are the three main literary genres mentioned by Professor Diogo Mendes?

The three main literary genres mentioned are the epic genre, dramatic genre, and lyrical genre.

What is the difference between literary and non-literary texts as explained by Professor Diogo Mendes?

Literary texts prioritize aesthetic function, focusing on beauty and artistic expression, while non-literary texts prioritize utility, serving practical purposes.

What are the five basic elements that define the epic genre?

The five basic elements of the epic genre are: plot, narrator, characters, time, and space.

What is the significance of the narrator's point of view in an epic text?

The narrator's point of view is crucial because it shapes how the story is told, whether from inside or outside the story. A narrator inside the story is a character with a biased perspective, while an external narrator is impartial and provides a more neutral view.

How does the narrator differ in epic and dramatic texts?

In epic texts, the narrator is present and provides the story's perspective. In dramatic texts, there is no narrator because the text is intended to be performed on stage, and the audience directly experiences the events through the characters' dialogues and actions.

What is the distinction between 'flat' and 'round' characters in epic narratives?

'Flat' characters are predictable and unchanging, while 'round' characters are more complex, unpredictable, and undergo significant changes throughout the story.

What does 'linear' and 'non-linear' time refer to in epic narratives?

Linear time follows a straightforward progression of events, while non-linear time involves interruptions like flashbacks, creating a more complex narrative structure that requires the audience to piece together the timeline.

What role does space play in epic narratives, and what are the two types mentioned?

Space refers to the setting of the narrative, which can be either real (reflecting actual places) or imaginary (created for the story, like the fictional Middle-Earth in 'The Lord of the Rings').

What are the key characteristics of the dramatic genre, and how do they differ from the epic genre?

The dramatic genre also includes a plot, characters, time, and space, but it lacks a narrator. The text is written to be performed by actors, with dialogues and stage directions guiding the performance.

What is the role of rubrics in dramatic texts?

Rubrics provide stage directions and instructions for actors, such as indicating sound effects, movements, or emotional cues, to help bring the scene to life and guide both performers and readers of the script.

What distinguishes the lyrical genre from the epic and dramatic genres?

The lyrical genre is characterized by subjective expression, often presented in the first person through the voice of the 'lyrical I.' Unlike the epic, it does not tell a story but instead conveys emotions, reflections, or sensations, usually with a strong emphasis on musicality and poetic form.

How did the modernist movement influence the lyrical genre?

The modernist movement challenged traditional lyrical forms by adopting free verse and breaking away from regular meter and rhyme. This experimentation aimed to create more innovative and sometimes less musical expressions of emotion and thought.
