, Understanding Literary Genres: Prose, Poetry, Drama


●​ Understanding genre is not something simple or shallow, and literature is never written
without purpose.
●​ The genre of literature encompasses the various types found within its three main
divisions: prose, poetry, and drama.
●​ Each division of literature has its genres to help us better understand and identify the
different types of literary works.



📌 GENRES UNDER PROSE
I.​ FICTION

~ Fiction is a creation of the writer’s imagination, meant to entertain readers, whether
young or old.

~ It is written in ordinary language and paragraph form because its content mainly
involves storytelling and narration.

~ It includes characters, plot, setting, and sometimes theme.

~ It can be realistic or fantastical

~ It follows a narrative structure because it has a beginning, middle, and end.



📌 TYPES OF FICTION PROSE
1.​ Short Story
2.​ Novel
3.​ Novella
4.​ Legend
5.​ Fable
6.​ Parable
7.​ Myth
8.​ Fairy Tale

, ✏️ EXAMPLE OF FICTION PROSE




The Legend of King Arthur is one of the most famous legends in Western literature,
blending history, fantasy, and moral lessons. It's a fictional yet culturally significant story that
has been passed down for centuries.




II.​ NON-FICTION PROSE

~ Opposite of fiction, this is no longer made up or imagined by the writer, but is based on
real events and facts.

~ Just like fiction, it is also written in ordinary language and paragraph form.

~ It is written to inform, persuade, explain, or reflect

~ It can be factual or personal
