Drama Elements Developed by Aristotle Essay

July 25, 2021 by Essay Writer

Aristotle came up with six very important elements of drama. The first is a character which simply means the people in a story. The second is a plot that explains what takes place in a drama and at what time. The third is an idea which is forms the basis of the drama for it to be written. The fourth is a language that encompasses how the actors speak and what they will say. The fifth is music which is very important and has to be incorporated into the drama.

The sixth is a spectacle which is the visuals in the drama that include props, set, and actor’s costumes. A tragic hero serves as a major character in a tragic drama. An example of a tragic hero is King Macbeth in Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth. A tragic flaw describes the trait of a character that results in his/her eventual downfall. A tragic rhythm involves the drama’s purpose becoming the passion that then changes to perception (Cremin et.al 290).
