The Poetics gives a basic definition of poetry that establishes format and intent. It's an early representation of criticism that explores the allure of literature, specifically tragedy. Aristotle provides the essential function of plot, character, thought, diction, melody and spectacle. Each piece works together to create a cohesive story that delivers an emotional response. This can include a range of plot points highlighting love, loss, pain or acceptance. With this construction, the author elevates the narrative from superficial to significant.
