Dramatic Strategy in “Cat on a hot tin roof.”
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is considering its dramatic Strategy, an outstanding contemporary or even postmodernism drama. Some of the practical aspects include the author’s comprehensive unorthodox commentary, the mythical references to the characters and their positions and relationships, the use of surrealistic imagery and metaphor in their context and acts, the use of uncertainty and ambivalence that contributes to what the dramatist himself calls the requisite ‘mystery’ regarding the characters and theme, Therefore, in its dramatic methods, the drama is more profoundly new than in its content and theme.
William’s most amazing gifts are to progressively describe the events step by step in a crescendo of significance. The reader is plunged into a narration at a degree just on the verge of a massive conclusion or climax. The author’s commentary on the meaning, setting, and characters and the dialogue and actions is an impressive dramatic strategy in Cat on a hot tin roof. “For conventional dramatists, it is not common to identify a character as Williams does at the start of the play:” A pretty young woman with nervous lines on her face” (Williams 3). Even for most contemporary dramatists, it is often not common to characterize a character’s tone like this: the series of past events slowly seeps out. It is usually not until the conclusion of the second collection that the plot is complete. At that point, a discovery progresses the whole story, not just for the viewer, but also for the characters, and the second episode curtain is the central climax. An inescapable working out of the repercussions is the remaining part of the play.
