Shakespeare's Symmetries: The Mirrored Structure of Action in the Plays
James E. Ryan
The organization of Shakespeare's plays has baffled audiences and critics since the 17th century. It is not the narrative arc alone that organises the plays but a complex structure of interwoven narratives and thematic actions. While the narrative varies from play to play, thematic actions are invariably designed in mirroring pairs around the central scene: A-B-C-B-A.
