본문내용

A tragedy, then, is 1)the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; 2)in language with pleasurable accessories, each kind brought in separately in the parts of the work; 3)in a dramatic, not in a narrative form; 4)with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.

Catharsis is an extreme change in emotion resulting from strong feelings of sorrow, fear or pity.

Aristotle asserts that any tragedy can be divided into six component parts. The six parts are: Plot, character, thought, diction, song(melody), and spectacle.
