Unité de lieu

Unité de lieu, or "unity of place," is a theatrical and literary concept that refers to the idea that a story's action should take place in a single, continuous location. This principle aims to create a sense of realism and focus, helping the audience stay engaged without distraction. By limiting the setting to one place, the narrative maintains coherence and intensity, making the story more immersive. Historically associated with classical drama, it emphasizes the importance of a unified setting to enhance the overall dramatic effect.
