To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Expectation of what is to come is largely fostered by this. Character is not created by what is said of a person by others ; but it may be prepared and confirmed by these side-lights. The character must be witty, or brilliant, or. generous, inde- pendent of any description. The methods and conditions of Shakspere's plays permitted more of this contributory matter than the modern drama. These touches need not be absent. If integral with the action and not an obvious and redundant device, they ha...ve the warrant of good practice. It is the value of a scene, its relativeness and other qualities, that impresses character. The length of a scene may not be prescribed, but care must be taken that sufBcient time be given to it, not too much or too little. It is certain that a word will not fix it. It is certain that the consent of the audience must be got for all that is done. The character must have probability, or, better said, actuality, and adequate motives. No artificiality of reasoning or plot can compen- sate for their absence.
