spontaneously. The humor has not been planned before. Farce is episodic. It only needs credibility or temporary belief in the aspects. In farce, everything,
which appears in the particular circumstances, does not come from the characters.
2.5.3 Elements of the Drama
Elements of the drama help to create lively condition for imitating the real life. The elements of the drama are plot, character, dialogue, theme, and setting.
Plot is a series of coherent and cohesive events in a literary work. Porrine 1959: 61 defines plot as
“the sequence of incidents or events of which the story composed”.
In other words, plot is ordered steps to tell the story, in which each step has a tied relation with the others.
The order of conventional plot according to Porrine Koesnosoebroto: 1980 starts with an introduction. Introduction gives earlier description about
the condition of the whole story. The second step is to create a point of attack. It initiates the action of the characters who are involving conflict with themselves,
others and nature or social forces. In this time, the problem starts to appear slowly. After the problem has appears in the drama, the writer will create a
situation, which is called complication. It is the time when the problem is more difficult to solve. The most important step to attract the readers is giving a
climax. It presents the apex of the main character struggle to solve the problem. After this step, the plot will be cooling down. Therefore, the writer will offer
resolution. It settles the outcome of the conflict. After all the steps above, now it comes to the conclusion. It is the time when the story ends because the
problem has been solved. To define the characterization is by observing moral quality of what the
character says and does. Based on E. M. Foster Koesnosobroto:1988, there are two types of character. The two types are flat character and round character. A
flat character is built around a single idea or quality. It is represented in an outline and without much individualizing detail. A round character is complex
in temperament and motivation. It is represented with subtle particularities. Dialogue becomes a main feature of drama since the writer of drama has
given much attention to characters’ conversation in opposing to daily life activities. Drama always uses a communicative language.
Viyante says that theme is an underlying concept of a story Koesnosobroto: 761. Theme is one of the important aspects in drama or other
literary works. Theme is an idea, which we can find in the drama insight. An incident always has a place and a time, which follow the accident. It
is what we call as a setting or background. Connoly, cited by Koesnosobroto 1988: 79, describes that setting is a sense of the time, place, and concrete
situation as the web of environment in which the characters spin out their destinies. Setting has to integrate with the plot and characters.
