What are three unities in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The three unities, as defined by Aristotle in 'Poetics' are of space, time and action. The unity of space, is a technique used whereby all the action takes place at a particular, singular setting. The unity of time, meaning the plot only covers the events of a single day, and the play is compacted into as little time as possible thus intensifying the audience's reaction. The unity of action, all action was to directly contribute to the construction of the plot.. the exposition, the complication, the climax and the denouement. The purpose of these unities, I believe, was to intensify the didactic catharsis (emotions of pity and fear) being instilled in the audience, and in so doing make the transmission of the plays themes more effective.

What was Aristotle's view of a tragic hero in Julius Caesar?
Aristotle died before the historical Julius Caesar was born, and over a millennium before Shakespeare wrote his play. In fact, in his Poetics, Aristotle was thinking exclusively of the play he had seen: Sophocles's Oedipus Rex. Of course there is no character in Julius Caesar who kills his father and marries his mother, so Aristotle's remarks are rather beside the point.In short, the notions of the "Aristotelian Unities" or the "tragic hero" were constructed many hundreds of years after Aristotle and were applied to drama from totally different traditions, such as English Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. Most of the writers of Shakespeare's time, including Shakespeare, could not possibly care less about Aristotle.

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.
