The book presents a compelling argument for Shakespeare's intentional use of a five-act structure, organized in a 2-1-2 pattern, challenging contemporary critical focus on individual scenes. It explores the significance of multiple plots and perspectives, particularly in his festive comedies and romances. The analysis includes Shakespeare's development of epiphany as a dramatic technique, contrasting it with Spenser's emphasis on transcendent themes, and delves into the darker aspects of Shakespeare's dramaturgy as exemplified in Macbeth.
