The Comedy of Errors is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays which obey the three unities of classical dramatic theory: unity of time, place and action. Well, it obeys the first two anyway, since the action is actually not as unified as it is in such plays as Oedipus Rex or Racine's Phaedre. To Shakespeare, a play without subplots is a play not worth watching.

Analyze Johnson's views on Shakespeare's observance of the three unities?
Shakespeare did not follow the convention of the three unities except in rare cases (such as The Comedy of Errors). In some cases he violates these so-called rules so brashly that one must feel that if he was aware of them, he held them in utter contempt. In particular one is reminded of the way the Winter's Tale flouts the "unity of time", Pericles completely ignores the "unities of place and action" and King Lear, with its complex of subplots, makes a hash of the "unity of action". Dryden, and other late 17th and 18th century writers who worshipped the French authors who had invented these rules, criticized Shakespeare for not having anticipated them. Samuel Johnson, in his introduction to Shakespeare, said he did not know whether or not Shakespeare knew about the unities, but that he clearly knew how to write plays, and that nobody ought to give a hoot (or substitute the expression of your choice) about some arcane and artificial rules.
