Laurel develops Aristotle's four causes (Poetics) and applies them to theatre:

  1. Formal cause. The plot or complete action subsuming form, genre etc.
  2. Material cause. The enactment of a performance: words, sound, props, art etc. Spectacle.
  3. Efficient cause. The skills and tools of all personnel contributing to the play.
  4. End cause. Catharsis. Audience response. The reactions and emotions aroused.
Discussing four criteria of characters from Aristotle's Poetics:

  1. Characters must be good in the sense of successfully carrying their function within the play - ability to transfer thought into action.
  2. Characters and their traits must be appropriate to the actions they enact.
  3. Characters must be probably in terms of understood reality. Logical causal connections between thought, characteristic straits and action.
  4. Characters must be consistent. No arbitrary changes.
