The works that make up the cultural baggagehumanity, are very diverse in content, form of presentation, composition. Each author chooses his expressive means and puts his unique personality into the work. However, the diversity of works of small and large genres is divided into only three literary genres - lyric, drama and epic. Each kind of literature unites a group of genres similar in structure. Works belonging to different genera differ in the way they describe the characters and the world in which they exist. So, the main feature of epic works can be called objectivity. The lyric work has a subjective coloring, and in the drama the actions and actions of a person are described.
And now we will describe each gender in more detail, beginning with the lyrics, and ending with the epic.
The drama is completely opposite to the lyrics, becauseall dramatic works are built exclusively on action. Descriptive-narrative means in drams are practically not used. The text of works that are part of the dramatic kind of literature, mainly consists of dialogues and monologues, and occasionally encountered author's speech has an auxiliary function and is not included in the plot. As a rule, the author's speech consists of a list of heroes, a brief description of their appearance, character, mood and environment. Plots of most of the dramas are built on the struggle or opposition of heroes, but in some works the leading role is played not by actions, but by the reflections of heroes, expressed in the form of monologues.
The genus of literature is somewhat artificial.In works often combined and lyrics, and epic, and drama. For example, a poem in prose is a combination of lyrics and drama. There are also such "hybrid" species, as an epic or lyrical drama. Thanks to such combinations, world literature is being perfected, replenishing with original and original works.
