verb. This is the first thing to look at in analyzing a play. Statement of main action should

The middle of the play usually is normally composed of a 
series of complications. A COMPLICATION is any new element which serves to alter the direction 
of the action. It may be new information, opposition to a plan, the arrival of a new character 
or idea, etc. Complications narrow the possibilities of action and create suspense. The 
substance of most complications is discovery.
