In literature, "voice" refers to the writer's distinctive style or tone, which is evident in their writing. It can also refer to the perspective from which a story is told, such as first person, third person, or omniscient. Voice is the unique way in which the writer conveys their ideas, emotions, and storytelling.

One key difference is that dramatic literature is meant to be performed on stage with actors, while fiction is meant to be read. Dramatic literature often relies on dialogue and stage directions to convey the story, whereas fiction can use narrative prose to develop plot and character. Additionally, dramatic literature typically focuses on conflict and tension between characters, while fiction can explore a wider range of storytelling techniques and structures.
