As you rightly put it Shamaji, tragi-comedy ... as in Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock, where it starts with “Say, what strange motive goddess could compel,
A well-bred Lord to assult gentle belle.”
What starts as a frivolous cutting off of a lock of hair of a society beauty Arabella Fermour, turns out to the war of gods and goddesses with all its epic paraphernalia of a tragedy with all its comedy.

Great thinkers could put things so coherently.A good plot is paramount... tragedy or comedy.

Re: Kabu
I love your attitude, always so positive. Hope our Wiley Sir is somewhat better. I’ll immediately go to Presta’s poetry.

Re: C C T
That’s because I teach these topics to the Final year M A students. But then they are indeed difficult and needs a bit of trouble understanding. All the same, thank u sir.

I like how you put things together. It must take hours to explain this coherently.

Aristotle's beliefs about how to do a tragedy hold true thousands of years later.
