Introduction

The Greek and Roman critics commended three dramatic unities.

Which may be observed by a good critics.

They are unity Time, Place and Action.

Aristotle unities, or three unities are rules for drama derived from a passage in Aristotle poetics in their neo-classical from they are as follows

Three Unities

Unity of Time

Unity of place

Unity of action

Unity of Time

The Unities of time implies that the action in a play should not exceed the limit of 24 hours.

The action of the play should take place in a short internal chronology, ideally, no more than 24 hours.

Previous events leading up to the present situation were recounted on stage.

As Prospero tells Miranda of the events which led to their abandonment on the island.

Unity of Place

The Unity of place limits it to one general locality that is there must be in a play no change of scene.

Unities of place A play should not exist in a single Physical Space and Should not attempt to compress geography nor should the stage represent more the one place.

Unity of Action

The Unity of action limits it to a single set of incidents which are related as cause and effect, according to him.

A play should heve one main action that it follows with no more or few subplots.

"It must have a beginning, a middle, and an end."

These are the qualities that give us the genuine tragic thrill.

Unity of Action no action or scene in the play was to be a digression; all were to contribute directly in some way to the plot.

So far as Dramatic unities are concerned.
