Melodrama began in the 18th century, it was regarded as one of the best types of drama during the elizabethan era. the common tv series 'the simpsons' was based on melodrama.Many themes were explored as melodrama evolved into charidrama. the main themes were the hero saving the 'damsel in destress' and the the villiain becoming a hero and the hero becomes the villian and the damsel becomes the villain then the hero who was the villian becomes the damsel who was the hero.hope this helped
