  • Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better than in actual life.

    Aristotle (2013). “The Essential Aristotle”, p.456, Simon and Schuster
  • Definition of tragedy: A hero destroyed by the excess of his virtues

  • A tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end.

    Aristotle, Demetrius (of Phaleron) (1953). “Aristotle: the Poetics: "Longinus": On the Sublime. Demetrius On Style”
  • Tragedy is an imitation not only of a complete action, but of events inspiring fear and pity. Such an effect is best produced when the events come on us by surprise; and the effect is heightened when, at the same time, they follow as cause and effect. The tragic wonder will then be great than if they happened of themselves or by accident; for even coincidences are most striking when they have an air of design.

    Aristotle (0101). “The Poetics of Aristotle”, p.18, Prabhat Prakashan
  • A tragedy is that moment where the hero comes face to face with his true identity.

  • The true end of tragedy is to purify the passions.

  • The best tragedies are conflicts between a hero and his destiny.

  • A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.

    Poetics ch. 6, 1449b
  • Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action

    Aristotle, Gerald Frank Else (1970). “Poetics”, p.27, University of Michigan Press
