This video explains Aristotle's theory of tragedy from Poetics. This is straight lecture as it was a video left for a substitute teacher.

  • very good lesson to us!

  • Thank you for the informative video very well explained it helped.

  • Thank you. It seems to me that The Poetics is really about what SHOULD happen in tragedy, rater than what does, with the obvious, towering exception being O.Rex which Aristotle deploys as the perfect model. The dramatic irony driving this greatest of all plays has never really seemed to me to have been replicated by other Greek drama. By comparison, ALL the other extant Greek plays seem closer to Homeric epic poetry than to Oedipus' dramatic "formalism," if you will. Just my opinion...

  • fantastic, great work! thank you!

  • this is so helpful thanks you, homework done :D thanks again

  • thank you so much for this. This has been extremely helpful.

  • Your video helped me organize the ideas and logic of my final exam presentation in my English class. You make Aristotle's theory extremely clear. Thank you for posting this.

  • great summary of Aristotle's theory of tragedy.
