In the Restoration period, dreams appeared in heroic couplets. Men had been described splendidly brave and women were beautiful. these plays had a lot of shouting and a good deal of nonsese. The Restorarion theatre was Patronized by aristocracy. Use of sceneny was different form the Elizabethan dreams. Its scenery was moveble and immoviable projecting the polatfrom stagback. Actresses were real with their girls faces, most old dreams were ceceived with the happy bendings as the age was not ready to accept the tragic end of the chgarecters Romeo and Juliet had happy ending. The Tempest had coarse touches. Great plays, "All for Love", and "Venice Preserved are inferior to those of the Elizabethens. John Dryden wrote "The Conquest of the Granda", Aurengzebe", "All for Love" in heroic couplets, rhyming pair sentences with imabic pentameter. Only a few were acted, although these were strangely unequal with good or bad writing. Poetry of rhymed plays in better, dramatic force of unrhymed plays is strange.
