Abstract
Aristotle, in The Poetic, defines dramatic tragedy as “imitation of a worthy or illustrious and perfect action, possessing magnitude, in pleasing language, using separately the several species of imitation in its parts, by men acting, and not through narration, through pity and fear effecting a purification from such like passions”.
