The document discusses whether Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is an Aristotelian tragedy. It argues that Act I is not an Aristotelian tragedy, as it jumps around from plot point to plot point without a steady narrative. However, Acts II and III are an Aristotelian tragedy, as the plot remains steady from beginning to middle to end, with serious events rather than comedic ones. The conclusion is that while Act I sets up the story, Acts II and III fulfill the requirements of an Aristotelian tragedy through their consistent and serious plotline.
