Question

Fact or Opinon...Explain Please ? :) Thank you.
Drama is intended to be performed on the stage.

Answer 1

An opinion can be refuted by another opinion, while a fact cannot be debatable.
For example, I could say, "Turkeys are meant to be eaten." Some people may believe in this, while others do not eat turkey.

A fact is like saying "The grass outside my dorm is green." You cannot debate this fact. I can provide a picture of this green grass, and you cannot refute it.

Reply if you have any questions.

Answer 2

I believe this is an oppinion because not only do we see drama in plays, poems, stories etc. we have "drama" in our everyday lives.

Answer 3

This would definitely be an opinion. Even I have debated this question with myself and others, and no one seemed to fully agree.

Answer 4

*sorry - that may have seemed obscure. What I meant was - Even I have debated the opinion that you posted (Drama is intended to be performed on the stage.) with myself and others, and no one seems to fully agree.

Answer 5

I think the core of the question lies in the word "intended". When you write a drama, presumably you write in that form so your writing can be performed. Here is a definition from wiki: "Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance."

So I'd say that by virtue of the fact that you're writing in a form that implies future performance, it's a fact that the intention of a writer of drama is that their piece be performed at some point.

Answer 6

An opinion.
