2. Drama Term: MELODRAMA - A type of play where the issues appear to be tragic but are actually dramatic. Creates an emotional roller-coaster of ever-increasing dynamic. Usually a nightmare with happy ending, melodrama tends to simplify the issues to a clash of good vs. evil, without letting on that it is doing so. NOTE: "melodrama" is also an historical term to denote those early plays which combined popular music and drama; as these were often melodramatic as well, there is potential confusion about the use of the term. Also, some people use the term pejoratively to denote false emoting.
