What is there about drama ?

Humans have created and performed plays since the times of ancient Greece, and probably long before that. What is there about drama (including its modern forms such as television and film) that makes it such an important part of human culture? Do you see any of these elements at work in Achebe?s novel? Did your work with drama this week give you any new ideas about the novel and your Portfolio Project? Please share any specific discoveries.
