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...
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.
very good lesson to us!
