" Like Eliot, Leavis suggested that the play might have been better if Johnson had not been determined to write it in blank verse : He is clearly determined that " his " verse shall not be changed into the'periods of a declaimer', and that it shall not be said that the audience cannot easily perceive'where the lines end or begin'( see his remarks on blank-verse in the " Life of Milton " ).
