M.Litt. et Phil. (Afrikaans-Nederlands) / Most stories are presented in the text through the mediation of some 'angle of vision' or a specific perspective. Not only is the story told from a certain 'point of view' as far as the narrator is concerned, but it is often presented in such a way that different 'perspectives' concerning certain matters are clearly voiced by character and statement. As far as the drama as genre is concerned, perspective can be described as the narrator's angle of vision, the way that certain aspects of life are seen in their relation to each other as well as the varying attitudes towards these aspects of life. The aim of this scription is to discuss perspective and its place in the drama introductory and then to concentrate on the way in which it is manifested in a few dramas from N P van Wyk Louw of which the most important will be Die pluimsaad waai ver, staged in 1966 in commemoration of South Africa becoming a republic in 1961.
