Re: dear big Sis,
Actually, according to my understanding, during the times of Aristotle, education was in its inception and people were gradually learning the fineries and power of literature, and what excited their imagination were stories that could take them to the highest of high and lowest of low of emotions - the Greek literature is full of the explorations of the human mind - and, the times were probably not quite mature of grasping the esoterc ethios. But then, looking into the richness and appeal of Greek and Latin literatures, I am somewhat unqualified to comment incisively. You sure had me thinking.

Thank you, dear Aba. It is not for me to dispute the great Aristotle. I think perhaps, the skillful use of all of these elements that constitute a great Tragedy. They are all pivotal and yet, somehow, must contain that esoteric element which enables the viewer/reader to identify somehow with the work. Excellent and worth another read to me.

Most interesting. and actually, I find it easier to write tragedy than something funny.
