| "Lajos Egri examines a play from the inside out starting with the heart of any drama its characters For it is people - their private natures and their inter-relationships - that move a story and give it life All good dramatic writing depends upon an understanding of human motives Why do people act as they do? What forces transform a coward into a hero a hero into a coward? What is it that Romeo does early in Shakespeare's play that makes his later suicide seem inevitable? Why must Nora leave her husband at the end of A Doll's House? These are a few of the fascinating problems which Egri analyzes He shows how it is essential for the author to have a basic premise - a thesis demonstrated in terms of human behaviour - and to develop his dramatic conflict on the basis of that behaviour Premise character conflict this is Egri's ABC His book is a direct jargon-free approach to the problem of achieving truth in a literary creation"

And why do the secret circles of the witches resemble those of the Tantric sex-magic of India?"
