Why do the final acts of some Lope de Vega plays resolve plots quickly?

The final acts of many plays by Lope de Vega often resolve plots quickly due to the haste with which he composed his works, a pace driven by the public's insatiable demand for new theatrical material.1

While his first acts are typically considered his strongest, the third acts often function as a rapid "cutting of knots" or a tying up of loose ends. This approach frequently gives little consideration to psychological depth or narrative probability. Because Lope’s drama focused primarily on action, intrigue, and maintaining audience engagement rather than character development, these swift resolutions allowed him to satisfy the contemporary appetite for novelty and complex plotting.12
