Of the contrivance of the fable, and the arrangement of the incidents, which Aristotle calls the soul of the drama, he was very careless, as well as of the unities considered as essential to probability, which are very different from the unities hinted at by A ristotle, and so rigidly adhered to by the French critics. I see no breach of probability in the long period that elapses between the third and fourth A ct in The Winters Tale, any more than there would have been on the Athenian stage, where several tragedies were performed in succession, if the I phiginia in Taurus had been acted immediately after the Iphigenia in A ulis, The real breach of the unity of time, (with which the unity of place is much connected) is, when the precise time of action is marked, and events are made to take place in that time which could not possibly happen. Of this error the play of Lear affords a striking example.
