linneak2002 's review for:
Poetics
by Aristotle
I read this along with the Literary Life Podcast, and it was so interesting!
"Tragedy is a representation not of persons but of action and life, and happiness and unhappiness consist in action. The point is the action, not character: it is their moral status that gives people the character they have, but it is their actions that make them happy or unhappy. So it is not in order to portray moral character that the actors perform; rather, they include characters for the sake of action. The events, the story, are the point of tragedy, and that is the most important thing of all.
Again, there could not be a tragedy without action, but there could be one without moral character---."
