To put it differently: the dramatist heightened interest by using certain resources of language, and certain scenic conventions, as they had not been used before: namely, words that almost but not quite mean the same, annals that almost but not quite have a pattern, the wearing of elaborate costumes by the actors, and the playing of female parts by men.
