This article written by Aristotle outlines a play, mostly a tragic play. He outlines how to do certain things in a tragic play like arouse fear or pity, arrange the ideas (simple or complex), and many other things. Just a few things that he says are that a tragic play should be arranged in a complex form, so that the audience does not simply know everything that is going to happen in the play. Also, to arouse pity or fear, you must either do something amazing in the play, or do so in the inner structure of the play, which is a better choice.
This article article can be connected to the idea of the banking concept. A "simple" play would be like the banking concept, effective but boring, and probably not well remembered. A complex play would be like the problem posing method, making the audience attempt to figure things out as it progresses.
Why did Aristotle write this? who was his intended audience?
