William Shakespeare, the greatest dramatist of the world is known for his superb plays. Though he wrote sonnets, poems but he is chiefly known for his 37 plays. But it is a matter of thinking that he does not follow the three classical unities. He mentions only the action in these plays. Though he violates the classical unities but his plays do not fail to get popularity or are not rejected by the readers. Dr. Johnson, a Neo-classical critic, argues that there is no fault in violating the unity of time and unity of place.
In terms of time and place, the law of the unities states that for a play to be credible, the events of the play should be limited to a particular place and time. Otherwise, the audience will have trouble suspending disbelief, which is to say the audience will have trouble forgetting that they are watching a play.
