Act three was filled with a lot of drama but a lot more talking as well. The characters liked to dramatize everything thing and make matters more important than they really were. For example, Lovborg's escapades at the whore house. The story could've been told in a few sentences: "Lovborg was at Mademoiselle Diana's parlor, accused someone of stealing something, got in a fight and was dragged out of the parlor."
It took Judge Brack about 40 sentences to say that.
And it took Thea and Lovborg about 2 pages to discuss the fate of the manuscript. The events themselves are very important but they don't require so much discussion on the one aspect of it. I suppose it is important to know how all the stories tie together but does there honestly have to be so much dialogue involved?

Haha- good point. It did take Brack FOREVER to spit out the story of what happened, which is kind of suspicious. Kind of like he was trying to keep what happened really vague, since it is possible that he may have actually been a part of what happened there. Maybe by making the story really confusing and hard to follow exactly he was trying to cover up anything that would point to him being involved.
