SummaryIt has been said that Shakespeare was a master at using the dramatics of theater to not only deconstruct society, taking it apart to show it again to the viewer, but also that through his works, society in turn was forced to take a critical look at traditional societal roles. In this sense, one can begin to look to the role of dramatics in theater as a playground for the important recursive relationships that it maintains with the society that both creates it and is affected by it.The following document will deal with the recursive nature of drama in regard to society, using two case study examples to highlight the argument that dramatic representations have a powerful effect on social roles. Furthermore, the paper will expound upon the role of the sociological imagination as the precursor for change and understanding, and the role of dramatics in providing a “stage” on which the viewer may develop and grow their own sociological imagination.
