Source 3 - Melodrama, Two Ways

In Dan Wang’s Article Melodrama, Two Ways he talks a lot about melodrama as a mood and parts of its origin. He describes how frequently melodrama appears in a musical contexts for instance in film. One could say the whole point of this article is to describe the melodramatic mode. This source is very useful and helpful in my paper because the article touches on what melodrama stands for within a certain contexts that pertains to the connections and transitions of my research paper. The article also shows the connection between music and melodrama as a mode and genre. This source is unlike my other sources because it talks deeply about melodrama and what music stands for within it. The article can definitely help my research paper when I first start off talking broadly about melodrama, its origins, and why music is important for the two to exist. This source if very academic and reliable, in some instances it uses sources from works we've read in class.
