2) If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you be on the side of the Ancient or the Modern? Please give reasons.

Upcoming generation is watching scenario from the shoulder of old generation and that's the way they can watch the far than the ancient.It is also true that moderns times imitate things from ancient, but not whole things they imitate. Things are updated with lots of new ideas with knowledge and creation.

Ancient have great knowledge of life but not all times because people and knowledge are keeps on changing. Modern have great knowledge and also lots of things are in the modern generation. 

3) Do you think that the arguments presented in favor of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate?

Some arguments presented in favor of the French plays by Lisideius against English plays are appropriate to some extent.

French Drama follow the Unities of time, place and Action. Action by not adding any confusing sub-plot. Lisideius comparer's Shakespeare history plays and saying that 'They are rather so many chronicles of kings. '

English plays are not follows the time, place and Action. Attempts to use long period of time. Action all kinds of sub plots which destroy the unity of action. English are best because of the lively imitation of nature. 

- Some good points about English plays are very lively by nature, it has plot subplots which we do not find in French plays, It makes play interesting. French plays are like lifeless and don't have subplots as well. We can note narrowness of imagination, smallness, too little action in the French play that’s why I found the English play more appropriate.

4) What would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogues are concerned in the play?

I like poetry it's representing psychological humans nature better way but as a understanding of play is bit difficult as a reader. I like most dialogue and some characters dialogue are influence us.
