Comment upon Dryden's definition of the playKavita Mehta
John Dryden was an influential 17th century English poet and playwright. In his work "An Essay on Dramatic Poesy", he presents his definition of a play as having three key elements: 1) It should provide a "just and lively image of human nature", accurately representing human passions and behaviors. 2) It should depict "the change of fortune to which [human nature] is subject". 3) It should provide "delight and instruction of mankind". Dryden believed a play should be a realistic imitation of life that both entertains and teaches audiences about human nature.
