I have been wondering why I dislike the clear and logical connection which seems necessary if one is to succeed on the modern stage… The Greek drama has got the emotion of multitude from its chorus… To witness[,] as it were, some [well] ordered fable… The Shakespearean drama gets the emotion of multitude out of the sub-plot which copies the main plo, much as a shadow upon the wall copies one’s body in the firelight. We think of King Lear less as the history of one man and his sorrows than as the history of a whole evil time.
