Thoughtlessness has been made to serve as the mask for a multitude of sins in the past, but we now intend to give the true name to such actions, viz., inexcusable selfishness.

These canons are the so-called "three unities" of space, time, and action. The strict limitation of the play to one spot is not authorized by Aristotle. The simplicity of the Greek plays, and the few possible changes...
