Politics by Aristotle. Most importantly, tragedy purifies the audience by producing in them the emotions of fear and pity in a process known as catharsis. Plot, however, is the most important component part of tragedy. Tragedy imitates actions, not people, and these actions are the events that make up the plot. Plus, the most effective way in which a tragedy produces catharsis is through recognition and reversal , which are both part of the plot.

A tragedy must have magnitude, meaning it must produce astonishment in the audience, but its imitation cannot be arbitrary. If the action being imitated in a tragedy is too big or too small, the entire plot cannot be appreciated at once, and unity is forfeited.

An imitation has unity if it represents a complete action, and the same goes for plot—a plot is only unified if it imitates a complete action. Historians and poets are not different because one writes in prose and one in verse; they are different because the former writes what has happened, while the latter writes what would happen. Even if all historian wrote in poetic verse, their writing would still not be considered poetry. It is not enough for a tragedy to simply imitate a whole action—the imitation must also provoke in the audience the emotions needed for catharsis, and catharsis is most effectively produced through events that are unexpected.

Every tragic plot involves a change of fortune , and such plots can be either complex in which a change of fortune involves recognition, reversal, or both or simple in which a change of fortune does not involve recognition or reversal. Recognition combined with reversal involves fear and pity, which are the very foundation of tragedy, and either good fortune or bad fortune will be the outcome of such a combination.

Tragedies that involve human suffering, such as in war, are also effective in bringing about catharsis. The best tragedies, according to Aristotle, are those with complex plots. A good tragedy should not depict an overly moral character undergoing a change in fortune from good to bad, as this upsets audiences and does not inspire fear and pity.

Still, a good tragedy does include a change in fortune from good to bad, as such plots are more tragic than plots that end in good fortune and will therefore elicit more fear and pity. Aristotle next considers characters within tragedy: he defines four things that go into the construction of a character.

A tragedy must also have complication and resolution , and both complication and resolution should be constructed with equal care and attention. A tragedy includes reasoning and diction, which can be broken down further into several of its own component parts, including nouns, verbs, and utterances. Good poetry uses all forms of diction, especially metaphor and uncommon words. According to Aristotle, objections to poetry usually involve one of the following: a poem is impossible, irrational, harmful, contradictory, or incorrect.

Furthermore, that which seems contradictory or incorrect might be an imitation of an object as it should be or as it is thought to be, not as it actually is. In other words, Aristotle easily dismisses each of the usual objections to poetry.

People might ask if tragedy is superior to epic, and Aristotle maintains that tragedy is absolutely superior. Updating commerce module to version 8.
