Decorum literature. Decorum is not simply found everywhere. Right proper was a principle of classical rhetoric poetry and theatrical theory concerning the fitness or otherwise of a style to a theatrical subject. The subject or theme must be dealt with in the proper diction metre form and tone.
The concept of decorum is also applied to prescribed limits of appropriate social behavior within set situations. In later classical criticism the roman poet horace maintained that to retain its unity a work of art must be consistent in every aspect. The concept of literary propriety in its simplest stage of development was outlined by aristotle.
