Question

Q) Apply dramaturgical analysis to your typical day at the university. Examine your day at the university and explain how your life is like a theatrical performance?​

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is the following.

My day at the university is like a theatrical performance because it really seems like a theatrical stage, where many characters -my fellow students- represent different roles according to their interests. So every one of them has a history on their own. This means aspirations, concerns, traumas, goals, and different perspectives of life.

The dramaturgical analysis invites us to see the day-to-day life as if we were characters in a theatrical play. That is why every morning when I arrive at the classroom, I see how my colleges are imbued in their own realities(their own circumstances) and as soon as we see each other, the roles and dramas start to unfold. You against me, she against him, and we against them. Hours come and go, and a new story is written: a new friendship, a new argument that ends up in results, a romance that suddenly ends.

And the only moment when there is relative peace is when we pay attention to the teacher in the classroom. As soon as the bell ring, here we go again, every single character starts to act his role and its respective drama.
