mutability. With Aga acting as the voice of reason here, his rational viewpoint contrasts strongly with the sentiments Acomat expresses. Selimus holds similar ideas since neither of the brothers are troubled by committing murder of family members or anyone who gets in their way. This ruthlessness would have furthered the "cruel Turk" mindset for the English, who perceived the Turk people to be inferior to Europeans and certainly more barbaric. Structure Unlike most dramatic works, Selimus is divided neither into acts nor official scenes; the text runs from line 1 to line 2572 without having a clear stop. There are twenty-nine unnumbered fairly short "scenes", which are marked by "[Exeunt all]" at which point the stage is cleared and new characters enter the stage beginning on the next line.
