Is a distinguishing characteristic of one-act plays as compared to full-length plays?

A distinguishing characteristic of one-act plays compared to full-length plays is their brevity and focused narrative. One-act plays typically consist of a single act, often ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, concentrating on a specific theme or moment, while full-length plays often have multiple acts and more complex storylines. This brevity allows for a quick, intense exploration of characters and situations, making one-act plays ideal for showcasing concise storytelling and immediate emotional impact.


Are there any full length--14 lines using abab cdcd efef gg style--Shakespearean sonnets in Midsummer Night's Dream?

Yes, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" contains full-length Shakespearean sonnets, particularly in the form of the character Lysander's speech in Act 1, Scene 1, where he expresses his love for Hermia. The play also features poetic exchanges between characters, but these are often in the form of shorter verses rather than complete sonnets. The essence of the sonnet's structure can be observed in the play's lyrical dialogue, even if full sonnets are not prominently featured.
