A drama is typically organized into acts, with each act serving as a major division within the overall structure. Acts are then further divided into scenes, which may be further subdivided into smaller units such as beats or moments. Each act typically follows a specific dramatic structure, such as the three-act structure or the five-act structure, which include elements such as rising action, climax, and resolution. Within each act, scenes may be organized based on the location, characters involved, or specific plot developments. It is not typically organized in paragraphs, chapters or stanzas as these are more commonly associated with written works such as novels, textbooks or poems.
