POETICS:

• The Poetics is specifically concerned with drama.
• It is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory.
• Poetics contains twenty six small chapters.
• Chapter I, II, III, IV and the XXV are devoted to poetry.
• Chapter V in general way to comedy, epic, and tragedy.

• Chapter XX, XXI and XXII to poetic diction.
• Chapter XXIII to epic poetry.
• Chapter XXIV, XXVI to a comparison of epic poetry and tragedy.
• According to Aristotle the poet imitates things ‘as they were or are’, ‘as they are said or thought to be’ or ‘as they ought to be’.
• Unlike Plato, Aristotle does not consider the poet’s imitations of life as twice removed from reality.
• To prove this Aristotle makes a comparison between poetry and history. The poet relates what may happen. The historian relates what has happened. Poetry therefore is more philosophical and higher than history.
• Aristotle considers pleasure as the end of poetry. Because it pleases both poet and reader.
• Poetry makes an immediate appeal to the emotions.
• Tragedy arouses the emotions of pity and fear.
• According to him these emotions are aroused with a view to their purgation or catharsis.
• Aristotle says that emotional appeal of poetry is not harmful but health-giving.
• Poetry can also be an excellent learning device.
