Ben Singer analyzes melodrama as a “cluster concept” whose meaning in any given instance depends on the combination of five key constitutive factors: pathos, overwrought emotion, moral polarization, nonclassical narrative structure, and sensationalism.(44)
In your response, please illustrate what a melodrama is by
1) Selecting a melodrama (film). You are encouraged to pick up an example given by Singer. You can also choose a film of your own interest.
2) Identifying at least two features from the above five that make this film “melodramatic.” Explain what the features are and how they are instantiated in the film.
3) If possible, share a link to a short clip/trailer of the film. Feel free to base your analysis in Step 2) on this clip.
