Six parts of tragedy by Aristotle

     Aristotle :-

        Aristotle was the disciple of Plato.  He was a genius. Aristotle contributed to all the branches of study through his deep neutral thinking.  He expresses his views on poets and poetry and about tragedy in his famous book 'The Poetics'. 

               Ø Definition of tragedy :-

                 "  Tragedy, then is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude', in the language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative', through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation- catharsis of these and similar emotions.''

               We can see here that we can elaborate each word written here.  In 'Poetics', he has also given six parts of tragedy.

       According to Aristotle, every tragedy is made up of six parts and they are,

·        the plot (Fable)

·        Character(ethos)

·        Thought (dianoia)

·        Diction (lexis)

·        Songs or melody (melos) and

·        Spectacle (opsis).
