Definition of Tragedy by Aristoteles
“Tragedy, than, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in seperate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative; through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions.”

According to Aristoteles, Tragedy should be imitation of an action, the events should be serious and a complete; beginning, middle and end. There should be organic unity, coherence and a certain magnitude(lenght), that is, there should be the limit of time in Tragedy. As it’s said before, there is three unity of time in Tragedy; one day, one one setting, and one action. Tragedy should be in form of action which is ‘diegetic’ form. Lastly, Aristoteles says that throughout Tragedy the audience should feel pity and fear( PATHOS) because of the complication and tension in the play and later in the denoument all those negative feelings should be purged, the audience should get rid of those negative emotions and this part is called ‘CATHARSIS’. This is the definition of Tragedy by Aristoteles.
