"As we have seen often throughout our study of the theater, the form of a play often reflects its content. The Greeks and Neoclassicists believed in a harmonious universe, and their plays were carefully structured affairs in which problems were resolved (although not always happily) in five compact acts. By contrast, the absurdists wrote about the great "rut of existence" and devised cyclic plots to show the meaninglessness of our actions. Many contemporary dramatists — because they see the world as a series of artificial constructs whose meanings change according to time, circumstance, and personal experience — resist a single explanation for issues, characters, and plots, and thus fragmentation is often a characteristic of postmodern plays." [ The Longman Anthology ]
