The idea
Unit nineteen named the problem play: a social question put on stage and argued through the characters. This is the form's founding example, and unit twelve's rhetorical apparatus reads Nora's final scene as effectively as unit thirteen's dramatic one.
In practice
A social question, argued out.
Where people slip
Two units' apparatus apply.
