What particular essay could give every student the greatest of difficulty in composition? It could be an essay requiring technical stuff of which the writer has immense trouble understanding. Others may point on essays having too many details that put off the realization of real requisites.
Though each student point has a different perspective relative to which essay is difficult or of the varying levels thereof, the danger does not lie in the writer’s incapability; instead, it rests on the student’s ability to resist the tendency of getting easily overwhelmed with the essay task. Glancing back in the stated question, it may be safe to assume that the ‘greatest of difficulty’ is ever-present in the writing of a drama essay.
To concretely substantiate the difficulty in writing a drama essay, it is necessary that the unique factors of this essay be pointed out.
So what elements distinguish this essay from other essays?
The Capsule Function. In writing this essay, the writer has to attempt in capturing and ‘encapsulating’ the overalls of the witnessed theatre drama. This also means that the writer has to describe the responses of all five senses (i.e., sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) on the varying sequences or phases of the drama. This function becomes a challenge for those not adept in having to experience drama productions or does not have inkling on what to watch amass the on-goings of the play.
The Multi-Perspective Function. In the drama essay, the writer has to make clear the interpretations held by various positions available – the spectator, performer, playwright, director, and other positions depending in the perceived needs of the drama or play production. The difficulty lies in the writer’s common tendency to stick to one or few perspectives which curtails the multi-perspective objective of the essay.
