  Article:   HISTORICAL EVENTS AS REASONS FOR THE REOCCURRENCE OF THE THEME OF JEANNE D’ARC IN WORLD DRAMA.

Authors:  MONICA GRECU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Choosing major world drama as the genre through which to illustrate the interdependence between history and literary theme/myth is a fascinating as well as a challenging task. What, if not drama, seizes large audiences and plays with their minds, feelings, emotions? Drama spontaneously transports audiences to places, times and circumstances unfamiliar to them, even as it responds to their humanity. Theater educates in a powerful way, adding to the content of the play the visual, auditive and interpretative arts. Subtle messages sent by playwrights can be illustrated variously in the theater, not just by reading lines or their covert messages.
