Nothing but action can hold The Division into Acts. 99 the interest for an entire evening. Interest is stimulated by the situations; and those situa- tions must cohere with character and purpose. Uncertainty is its chief promoter. Episodic interest is not enough. A situation is the state of persons in the scene with regard to others. In a sense all scenes are situations, but the tech- nical meaning is confined to points of special interest, where expectation is peculiarly alert as to what the c...haracters will say and do. Several persons are thrown into emotion. We realize from the preceding scenes the possi- bilities. We ask, what will be the outcome? It is a moment of contradictory sentiments in the characters, of suspense in the spectator. We see a figure who must decide between love and honor ; patriotism and domestic ties ; and so on. There is doubt. There are as many elements of emotion possible as life may afford. Interest leads to suspense. Suspense as to the issue should remain in the mind; suspense as to a particular situation is a multiple of it.
