Dramatic experience is not logical it may be subdued to the kind of coherence that we indicate when we speak, in criticism, of form.

Summary

This quote suggests that dramatic experiences, such as those encountered in plays or performances, do not necessarily adhere to logical reasoning. Instead, they can be shaped and controlled to create a sense of coherence through what we refer to as “form” in criticism. In other words, while the events within a dramatic experience may not follow a logical sequence, the way they are structured and presented can still create a sense of meaning and order for the audience.
