Subject
The heart of the theater is the play itself, how it dramatizes life to make it meaningful entertainment.

If there be anything that can be called genius, it consists chiefly in ability to give that attention to a subject which keeps it steadily in the mind, till we have surveyed it accurately on all sides.
