Aristotle's Poetics

According to my understanding I do not agree with plato's objection because all the writers have their freedom to express their views or ideas .         During my B.A studies I study    " GHASHIRAM KOTWAL" by Vijay Tendulkar.  It is a tragedy of Ghashiram. This play following all rules and regulations of Aristotelian literary tradition of time , place and action. Plot is an organization of events which from the story of the play. In this plot shows that good man suffering due to his own faults.This play is a powerful satire on the power of politics. Also shows lust of power.   .A lust of power make him so blind that for the power of became kotwal of Poona he gives his daughter to Nana Phadnavis. At the end of the play Nana killed his daughter after this thing he realized his fault. At the end he was killed by people of Poona. Tendulkar include the visual language of movement of expression . so it was tragic end of Ghashiram Kotwal .     The Play " OTHELLO&q

Definition               ' It is written or spoken language in its ordinary form without metrical structure' Definition of prose :-               ' It is written or spoken language in its ordinary form without metrical structure'    • Difference between poem and prose:      Metre and rhyme or both is used in a poem But they are not use in prose composition.   Immediate purpose of poem is the communication of  'Pleasure'.

Dryden's Essay on Dramatic Poesy.

     1) Do you any difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of play ? Ans :-  Yes , there is a difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of play.      •Aristotle's definition of tragedy:   " A Just and lively image of human nature,representing its passions and humors and the changes of fortune to which it is subject, for the delight and instruction of Mankind."        So there is a difference in both definition in Dryden's definition he uses the word ' Just ' and ' lively.so both are most important word .        In Aristotle's definition of tragedy it ended with therapeutic word ' catharsis'.

Post Truth is mixture of two words .  Meaning:-      We see in the media that how they hide the reality of people so people is live in some kind of ignorance but in the real life but it is not truth. Truth is always about that exist or we can say the facts which are there. On the other hand post truth is ‘‘created truth’. the famous  phrase about truth is ‘’universal truth’’.
