  • Lyrics - the key role is played by the inner state of the hero, his emotions, impressions and experiences, and events play a secondary role. Lyrics include epistles, ode, elegies and epigrams.
  • Drama - tells about the external world of the hero. Most of the work is in the form of dialogue. Depending on the plot, there are comedies and dramas, tragedies and vaudeville.
