These are the characteristics of the major literary genres as well as those of films:



1. Fiction


The earliest form of fiction was epics. Most notable of this type are Homer's Iliad and Odyssey (seventh century BC) and Virgil's (70-19 BC). The majority of traditional epics revolve around a hero who has to fulfill a number of tasks of national or cosmic significance in a multiplicity of episodes. The earliest epic in English history was Beowulf which was written in the period of the Anglo-Saxons.

Epics are written in verse and distinguish themselves from other forms of poetry by length, narrative structure, depiction of characters, and plot patterns. Epics and romance are regarded as precursors of the modern novel.

Novel emerged in Spain during the seventeenth century and in England during the eighteenth century.



The major elements of novel are:

Plot: what happens?

Characters: who acts?

Narrative perspectives: who sees what?

Setting: where and when do events take place?
