Lost in Yonkers by Neil Simon.
Write an analysis of the play using Aristotle’s six elements of drama. Provide examples or quotes from your chosen script to support your analysis. Be specific. Be thorough. Be concise.
Regarding section length:
The first two elements—plot and character—will, by far, be the longest sections of your analysis. The last four—thought (theme), diction (language), music (rhythm), and spectacle (visuals)—should be able to be sufficiently answered in 1-2 paragraphs.
