For the first blank, the sentence itself pointing what could be the choice among followings ( Disposition = something deliberately place in relation with other, Affectation seems right because it is about something which is unnatural or artificial, Stature is clearly out of scope doesn't fit into the context.
Second Blank is linked to the first sentence "Samuel Johnson criticizes Shakespeare’s characters" which shows that Johnson criticism - the word censure fit perfect because its means to criticize harshly.
Thirst choice now becomes very easy because everything appears obviously Unnatural to Johnson
