What is the unities of the comedy of error?

The Comedy of Errors is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays which obey the three unities of classical dramatic theory: unity of time, place and action. Well, it obeys the first two anyway, since the action is actually not as unified as it is in such plays as Oedipus Rex or Racine's Phaedre. To Shakespeare, a play without subplots is a play not worth watching.

Are the unities followed in 'Antigone'?

Yes, the unities are followed in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the dramatic ideal is the solving of a problem presented in one place during one 24-hour period. The description fits the play "Antigone." It deals with the problem of which of two conflicting laws to obey and resolves it in front of the main entrance of the Theban royal palace the day after the end of the recent civil war over the royal succession.
