It not only focuses on literary attributes but also delves into the performative characteristics of the theater, providing a multifaceted research perspective. By integrating the theory of Ethical Literary Criticism, the book deepens the understanding of dramatic works and discusses the symbiotic relationship between drama and the economy. The book gives equal attention to male and female playwrights and emphasizes the impact of emerging playwrights, showcasing the diversity in gender and cutting-edge dynamics in the field of dramatic arts.
