Aristotle- Poetics

                                      Aristotle - Poetics (Excerpts from Aristotle's Poetics)

  

          Reflecting on what I read in Aristotle's Poetics tragedy, it grows through the actions of life and not from people. A well-crafted story must have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Tragedy is the facts, and the endings of the stories are where it is noted how the tragedy ended. Aristotle argues that work is a tragedy only when it arouses pity and fear. Five characteristics have been defined as tragedy: it shows humanity, it evokes, it ends in wonder, and it is intrinsically beautiful. 

   Pity and fear both of these words refer to a variety of emotions. Aristotle didn't necessarily classify fear and pity as your only emotions because someone can also have feelings toward wonder and beauty. Also, Aristotle said that the sign of an educated person is knowing what needs explaining and what does not. As they mention in the text, he does not attempt to prove that there is such a thing as nature or such a thing as motion, although some people deny both. Likewise, he considers recognizing a unique and powerful form of drama built around pity and fear as the beginning of an investigation. He does not spare a word of justification for this limitation. However, we can better understand why he started there by trying simple alternatives.
