How must a change in a character's will, heart or conduct be prepared, according to Baker, Archer and Aristotle, and who is silent or only indirect (with evidence ids)?
Concordance (code_derived_inference). Baker (1919) and Archer (1912) agree that a change must be shown, not asserted, and both fault changes that fall between acts or off stage (both fault Pinero's Iris). They give different remedies: Baker plants earlier development, an emphasised motive and other characters' acceptance, and repeats illustrative action; Archer requires an on-stage 'psychological' scene, a new fact or motive for a change of resolve (not the clock) and, at a crucial point, external certification of a change of heart. Their verdicts on Nora differ (Baker: thoroughly motivated; Archer: compressed into a week). Aristotle XIII-XV has no arc rule (scoped negative) but demands consistency and 'necessary or probable' conduct. Phillips is indirect (motive and cause chain); Esenwein and Leeds, Munsterberg, Lutz and Forster have no record. No source gives a count of scenes or minutes of preparation.
