Which dramatic convention mandated that a play's plot take place within twenty-four hours, in a single geographical location, and concentrate on one central plot without secondary comedic subplots?

  1. Adherence to the Three Unities and strict decorumCevap
  2. B
    Integration of comic relief to construct a hybrid tragicomedy structure
  3. C
    Frequent use of direct stage asides and soliloquies to address the audience
  4. D
    Resolution of conflicts exclusively through tragic flaw and fate

Cevap

Adherence to the Three Unities and strict decorum is the defining principle of 17th-century French Neoclassical drama.
The correct answer highlights the Three Unities (time, place, and action) and decorum. French Neoclassical playwrights such as Racine and Corneille were constrained by these rules, which restricted the play's action to a single day, one setting, and a focused narrative devoid of comic subplots.
