1. Aristotle analyzed tragedy and proposed its ideal form, which influenced later playwrights. He defined tragedy as imitating a serious action that arouses pity and fear and accomplishes catharsis of these emotions.
2. According to Aristotle, the six main elements of tragedy are plot, character, thought, diction, melody, and spectacle. The most important elements are plot and character. The plot should be a unified action that involves reversal of fortune and discovery.
3. Aristotle stated that the tragic hero should not be entirely good or bad, but have a flaw that leads to their downfall from happiness to misery. This arouses pity and fear in the audience.

Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Î ÎľĎ὜ ĎοΚΡĎΚκáżĎ, Latin: De Poetica;[1] c. 335 BCE[2]) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.[3]
In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes dramaâcomedy, tragedy, and the satyr playâas well as lyric poetry and epic poetry).

Chapter 8 THEATER
We sit in the darkened theater with many strangers. We sense an air of anticipation, an awareness of excitement. People cough, rustle about, then suddenly become still. Slowly the lights on the stage begin to come up, and we see actors moving before us, apparently unaware of our presence. They are in rooms or spaces similar to those that we may be in ourselves at the end of the evening. Eventually they begin speaking to one another much the way we might ourselves, sometimes saying things so intimate that we are uneasy. They move about the stage, conducting their lives in total disregard for us, only hinting occasionally that we might be there in the same space with them. At first we feel that despite our being in the same building with the actors, we are in a different world. Then slowly the distance between us and the actors begins to diminish until, in a good play, our participation erases the distance. We thrill with the actors, but we also suffer with them. We witness the illusion of an action that has an emotional impact for us and changes the way we think about our own lives. Great plays such as Hamlet, Othello, The Misanthrope, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Long Dayâs Journey into Night can have the power to transform our awareness of ourselves and our circumstances. It is a mystery common to much art: that the illusion of reality can affect the reality of our own lives.
Aristotle and the Elements of Drama
Drama is a collaborative art that represents events and situations, either realistic and/or symbolic, that we witness happening through the actions of actors in a play on a stage in front of a live audience. According to the greatest dramatic critic, Aristotle (384â322 BCE), the elements of drama are as follows:
1. Plot: a series of events leading to disaster for the main characters who undergo reversals in fortune and understanding but usually ending with a form of enlightenmentâsometimes of the characters, sometimes of the audience, and sometimes of both
2. Character: the presentation of a person or persons whose actions and the reason for them are more or less revealed to the audience
3. Diction: the language of the drama, which should be appropriate to the action
4. Thought: the ideas that underlie the plot of the drama, expressed in terms of dialogue and soliloquy
5. Spectacle: the places of the action, the costumes, set designs, and visual elements in the play
6. Music: in Greek drama, the dialogue was sometimes sung or chanted by a chorus, and often this music was of considerable emotional importance; in modern drama, music is rarely used in serious plays, but it is of first importance in the musical theater
Aristotle conceived his theories in the great age of Greek tragedy, and therefore much of what he has to say applies to tragedies by such dramatists as Aeschylus (ca. 525â456 BCE), especially his trilogy, Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides. Sophocles (ca. 496â406 B.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

â Aristotle`s Tragedy and Plot â
Aristotle:
Aristotle (384BC - 322 BC) was a Greekphilosopherwhomade importantcontributionsbysystemizing
deductive logicandwrote onphysical subjects.His philosophyhadalong-lastinginfluence onthe
developmentof all Westernphilosophical theories.
The greatestuniversal geniusof the ancientworld,whostudiedandwrote onjustabouteverything
frommetaphysicstobotany,wasalsothe founderof literarycriticism.HisPoeticsisthe mostimportant
workof literarywhichhassurvivedthe ancientworldandthe mostinfluential of all hisworks.
Poetics:
Poeticsisan attempttoexplainthe basicproblemsof art.The Poetics standsinoppositiontothe theory
of art propoundedbyPlato inhisRepublic. Itisthe earliest-survivingworkof dramatictheory(primarily
focusedondrama).His original workwasdividedintotwoparts,eachbookwaswritteninseparate
papyrus.Onlythe 1st
part whichfocusesontragedysurvives.The lost2nd
part was focusedoncomedy.
Aristotleâs Ideas About Tragedy:
Aristotle wasone of the greatestphilosophersof AncientGreece.A philosopherlooksforideal forms,
and triestoexplainthe nature of reality.The searchfor ideal formsledAristotle toexplore many
subjects.Hisanalysisof the ideal formof tragicplaysbecame a guideline forlaterplaywrightsin
Westerncivilization.Forcenturies,Europeanplaywrightslike WilliamShakespearetriedtowrite plays
that wouldmatchthe idealsof Aristotleâsmodel.Dramawasnot inventedbyAristotle.Infact,he used
examplesfromthe worksof famousGreekplaywrightssuchasSophoclestoillustrate hismainideas.
The Greeksbelievedthattragedywasthe highestformof drama,and Aristotleâsideasabouttragedy
were basedonthisbelief.
Aristotleâs Definition of Tragedy:
âA tragedyisthe imitationof anactionthat isseriousandalso,as havingmagnitude,complete initself;
inappropriate andpleasurable language;...in adramaticratherthan narrative form;withincidents
arousingpityandfear,wherewithtoaccomplishacatharsisof these emotions.â
2. 1. âThe imitationof an action that is seriousand also, as havingmagnitude,complete initselfâ This
meansthat a good tragedydealswithone issue thatisveryâserious.âYoucanât have a tragedyabout
somethingtrivial.âMagnitudeâhere meansgreatimportance.The issue hastobe seriousandvery
important.Thatâswhya lot of tragediesdeal withsomeoneâsdeath.âCompleteinitselfâmeansthatthe
playmuststick to the one issue;otherwise,the audience will getlostinthe plot.
2. âin appropriateandpleasurablelanguageâ AncientGreektragedyhada choruswhose role wasto
commentonthe actionof the play.The chorussometimessangtheirpart.Aristotle saidthatthe
language shouldbe easytolistento.Itshouldhave rhythmandalso goodharmonyfor the linesthat
were sung.
3. âina dramatic rather than narrative formâ To narrate a story issimplytotell the story.In a play,the
storymust be dramatizedoracted out.
4. âwith incidentsarousingpity and fearâ In a tragedy,the eventsorepisodesinthe playshouldlead
the audience tofeel verysorryforthe maincharacterâthe tragichero.The audience shouldalsofeel
afraidfor the heroas he movestowarda destructive end.
5. âwherewithtoaccomplisha catharsis of these emotions.â Asthe playmovesalong,the events
shouldbuildupthe emotionsof pityandfear.A catharsisis a purging,or cleansingof the emotions--a
release of tension.Ina tragedy,thisisoftenamomento f revelationwhenthe tragicheroâfallsflaton
hisface,âand the audience canfinallyâexplode.â
Aristotleâs Elements of Tragedy:
Aristotle saidthattragedyhas six mainelementsof tragedy:
1. Plot;
2. Character;
3. Thought;
4. Diction;
5. Melody;
6. Spectacle.
The last fourelements(Thought,Diction,Melody,andSpectacle) are the leastimportant,butAristotle
felttheymustbe done well forthe playto succeed.
ď§ Thought is the powerof sayingwhatever can besaid and should be said at each momentof the
plot.Do the linesspokenbythe actorsmake sense?Are theysayingwhat should besaid at each
particularmomentinthe play?
3. ď§ Diction isthe actual compositionof the linesthatare recited.Thoughtdealswith whatissaid,
and dictiondealswith how itissaid.There are manywaysto say something.A goodplaywright
composeslinesthatsaysomethingextremelywell.Inagoodplay,some linesare sowell
constructedthatthe audience canleave the playquotingthe linesexactly.
ď§ Melodyand Spectacle are accessories.The Greekssometimesusedmusical accompaniment.
Aristotle saidthe music(melody)hastoblendinwiththe playappropriately.Spectacle refers to
the presentationof the play.Again,aswithmelody,the spectacle shouldbe appropriatetothe
theme of the play.
ď§ Character is the secondmostimportantelementof tragedy.Eachcharacterhas an essential
qualityornature that is revealedinthe plot.The moral purpose of eachcharactermust be clear
to the audience.The charactersshouldhave fourmainqualitiesthatare as follows:
1. No matterwhotheyare (heroor slave),the charactersmustbe goodin some way.
2. The characters shouldact appropriatelyfortheirgenderandpositioninlife.
3. The characters have to have believablepersonalities.
4. Each character must act consistentlythroughoutthe play.Inotherwords,nothingshouldbe
done or saidthat couldbe seenas âactingout of character.â
ď§ Plot mustcontainelementsof astonishment,reversal (peripeteia),recognition,andsuffering.
Reversal isanironictwistor change by whichthe mainactionof the story comesfull-circle.
Recognition,meanwhile,isthe change fromignorance toknowledge,usuallyinvolvingpeople
comingto understandone another'strue identities.Sufferingisadestructive orpainful action,
whichisoftenthe resultof a reversal orrecognition.All three elementscoalesce tocreate
"catharsis,"whichisthe engendermentof fearandpityinthe audience:pityforthe tragichero's
plight,andfearthat hisfate mightbefall us..First,the heromustbe 'good,'and thusmanifest
moral purpose inhisspeech.Second,the heromusthave propriety,or'manlycourage.'Thirdly,
the heromust be 'true to life.'Andfinally,the heromustbe consistent.
1. There mustbe Unity ofPlot.This has alreadybee ndescribedinthe definitionwhichtalksaboutâone
complete action.â Actionsmustalsobe probable orbelievable.
2. A good plothas Peripety or Discovery--sometimesboth. Peripetyisthe change from one state of
thingsat the beginningof the playtothe exactopposite state bythe endof the play.Thiscouldbe
somethinglikethe change frombeingrichtobeingpoor,or frombeingpowerful tobeingpowerless,or
frombeinga rulerto beinga beggar.The change that takesplace ina tragedyshouldtake the main
character (andpossiblyothercharacters) fromastate of happinesstoa state of misery. Discoveryisa
change from ignorance toknowledge.Thisoftenhappenstothe tragicherowho startsout âcluelessâ
and slowlylearnshowhe himself createdthe messhe endsupinat the endof the play.
4. 3. Change byitself isnotenough.The characterinvolvedinthe change musthave specificcharacteristics
to arouse the tragic emotionsof pityandfear.Therefore,Aristotlesaidthatthere are three formsof
plotthat shouldbe avoided.
ď§ A totallygoodmanmust notpass fromhappinesstomisery.Thiswill make the audience angry
that bad thingshappenedtohim.Theywonâtpityhimsomuchas be angry for him.
ď§ A bad manmust notpass frommiseryto happiness.Thiswonâtappeal tothe audience atall
because theywouldnotwantto see evil rewarded.
ď§ A bad mancannot pass fromhappinesstomisery.The audience wonâtfeel sorryforhimbecause
theywill believe he gotwhathe deserved.
4. The true tragichero cannotbe toogood or too bad,but he mustendup inmisery.
5. Aristotle concludedthatthe besttragedycentersona basicallygoodmanwhoâsconditionchanges
fromhappinesstomiserybecause of somegreaterror.For example,he mighthave agoodquality,like
pride,thatgetsout of hand.
The plotof a tragedyalsoinvolvessomehorribleorevil deed.The tragicheroeitherdoesit consciously,
doesitout of ignorance,ormediatesit (makesiteasyfor the deedtohappen).Forthe audience tobe
horrifiedbythe evil deed,the evilhastobe done to someone importanttothe tragichero.If the hero
killshisenemy,the deedwonâtseemsobad.Onthe otherhand,if the herokillssomeone he doesnât
care about,the audience wonâtcare mucheither.Tomake it really horrible for the audience,Aristotle
suggestedthatthe evil deedshouldbe done toa family member.
