The text you're describing seems to fall under the category of narrative prose, as it tells a story involving characters who experience conflict and suffering.
-
Narrative: This refers to the storytelling aspect, where there is a structured plot with characters, a setting, and a sequence of events that lead to conflict and resolution.
-
Drama: While it could also be considered a drama if it focuses on the emotional struggles and interactions of the characters, "drama" often implies a performance aspect, typically in a script format for theater.
-
Prose: This is the form of written language that is structured in sentences and paragraphs, rather than in verse or metric form, making it suitable for narrative storytelling.
-
Poetry: This form emphasizes rhythm, imagery, and often a more abstract or condensed expression of ideas, which might not specifically tell a story with clear characters and conflicts.
Given these distinctions, if the text narrates a story about characters with clear conflicts and emotional journeys in a structured format, it would be best described as narrative prose.
