I shall try to arrive at a convergence of two lines of interpretation, two approaches to the semiotics of theater, which at first sight are quite independent. The first of these relates the play to all the other works which are narrative in character, in virtue of the incontrovertible fact that a theatrical text narrates events, in whole or in part imaginary, and that they are interconnected. The other line of interpretation sets its sights on the specific nature of theater, whose constituent element is exposition in mimetic form (characters who speak, without the narrator's intervening). Aristotle had already made the distinction when, on the one hand, he contrasted theatrical mimesis effected by characters in (TrpCrr77oVrE) and narrative diegesis, and, on the other, located in action (ti00Ooq) the content both of a play and also of a narrative text (the epic)
