Aristotle's concept of Tragedy:
As Aristotle has given the definition of tragedy in his book Poetics:
"A tragedy, then, is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magintude, complete in itself: in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, each kind brought in separately in the parts of the work; in a dramatic, not in a narrative form; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions." so how can we create an assingement on aristotle's concept of Tragedy with reference of abovementioned definition |

Dear I do not know much about the theories of Aristotle. A thing I should add that you had referred his book wrongly which is "The Politics" not poetics.

Aristotle presented his theory in "Poetics" and not in Politics.

Brother you're going on the track of New Kitab Mahal, the books are entirely based on the downloaded contents, for better studies, you need their older versions. Also I've found LAST ISLAND's posts quite helpful and to the point, you either contact her, or read her posts. poetics i've posted some links but they didn't work, so i don't know how to send you those links they would give you a broader vision of Tragedy Inshallah...
