And in this very moment, Mrs. Antrobus asks her about milking the mammoth, which sets the action in prehistoric but not biblical time. Despite that, the two women have no problems in communication and mutual understanding. The conversation continues even though the two time-streams are completely different. The situation describes two levels which are mixed up but the combination of three time-levels is also possible. It is presented when the telegraph boy comes. He come with a message from Mr. Antrobus to burn every book except Shakespeare's to keep the children warm against the cold glazier that is coming and he sings "Happy w'dding ann'vers'ry, dear Eva". (SOT, 1957: 78) And again, it does not distort the message which suggests that the number of presented time-levels is not restricted. Functioning on all time-levels, the characters are able to perceive the three messages at once although they belong to three different time-streams. The presentation of only three is done out of literary purposes and clarity of plot preserving the outgoing message. Each of the protagonists is composed of, as if, three (in this example) beings in one body (in fact: infinite number). When Mrs. Antrobus says: "Henry, put down that stone" (SOT, 1957: 79) she in fact addresses not Henry but Cain. Because Henry is Cain, Henry is the son of Mr. Antrobus who invented a wheel and Henry is the son of Mr. Antrobus who works at a modern university. The ability to be 'one in many persons' and experience the same number of time-levers is the key to understand the play and not get lost in the Wilder's complexity of time. It is important to notice that Henry (and every other character) realizes his multi-personage. He confirms it saying:

Dr. Gibbs: (...) goin' to rain, Howie?

Sabina witnesses the election of Mr. Antrobus for a president which at the same time is Antrobus' wedding anniversary which at the same time is the 5th thousand wedding anniversary of the whole human race, which is followed by a quotation from Shakespeare and the famous speech delivered by Mrs. Antrobus "I have been viviparous, hairy and diaphragmatic (...) it has at last been decided that the tomato is edible". (SOT, 1957: 96) Again, it is an example of experiencing four time periods penetrating one another at the same time. Mrs. Antrobus also gains a new dimension (primitive life forms) which consequently expands her multi-personage to prehistoric times when the earth was dwelled by micro-organisms. This is interesting as far as the characters do not exist only as human beings but also as first primitive livings. The experiencing of presented time is extended to its maximum. Being aware of living simultaneously on all time-levels, Mrs. Antrobus has (and still does) witnessed all recorded history. Her mind is full with all events in the history of the Universe - past, present and future. As Burbank rightly points out, it seems to be as if "time-present and time-past are put into the eternal present" for her. (Burbank, 1961: 106) The situation where awareness of the future could determine protagonists' actions is impossible, as despite close link of all time-levels and their mutual penetrating, each of the processes happens separately while being a part of the whole. That is why protagonists experiencing all time-streams at once are unable to have an influence on their own future.

The three acts embrace the entire life of an Everyman, virtually from the cradle to the grave and beyond it. This life (time) is measured and experienced not by a clock but by a natural rhythm of daily and cosmological occurrences. Act I opens with childhood of Emily and George. The newspaper and milk delivery, cooking three meals a day, good morning's and good-bye's, washing, cleaning and singing in the choir constitutes a common day. The young protagonists experience time through the rhythm of such prosaic and trivial events. A postman, for instance, is given another meaning: his paper in the mailbo
