Publisher's Synopsis
On the art of Poetry is the collection of the author's various poems. Aristotle divides the art of poetry into poetry drama, including comedy, tragedy, satyr play, and epic. The genres all offer the functions of mimesis, or imitation of life. They are, however, different in three ways that Aristotle describes: beat, agreement, meter, and melody. As per Aristotle, tragedy comes from the attempts of artists to introduce men as' nobler 'or' better 'than they are, in reality. Aristotle outlined six elements of tragedy: plot, character, phrasing, thought, exhibition, and song.
