According to Aristotle, the subjects of tragic drama were rightly drawn
from ancient mythology, a source considered invariably reliable, for it was
believed that if man had invented such strange incidents, they would have
Line appeared impossible. Furthermore, the chief characters of a tragic action should
(5) be persons of consequence, of exalted station, according to Aristotle, and the
leading personage should not be a man characterized by great virtue or great
vice, but of a mixed nature, a proclivity for errors and weaknesses that lead him
into misfortune. Such a mixture of good and evil makes the protagonist seem
like ourselves, thus more quickly arousing the spectator’s sympathy, saturating
(10) him with feelings of compassion, driving out his petty personal emotions, and
thus "purging" the soul through pity and terror. The crimes suitable for tragic
treatment may be committed either in ignorance, or intentionally, and are
commonly against friends or relatives, though crimes committed intentionally
are generally the more dramatic and impressive-this in spite of the fact that
(15) the central crime in Oedipus the King was committed in ignorance. As to
style, a certain archaic quality of diction is needful to the dignity of tragedy.
Another of the most famous of the Aristotelian rules were those relating to
the so-called unities-of time, place, and action. The unity of time limits the
supposed action to the duration of a single day, unity of place limits it to one
(20) general locality; and unity of action limits the play to a single set of incidents
related as cause and effect, "having a beginning, a middle, and an end."
Concerning the unity of time, Aristotle noted that all the plays since Aeschylus,
except two, did illustrate such unity, but he did not lay down such a precept as
obligatory. Perhaps tacitly he assumed that the observance of the unity of place
(25) would be the practice of good playwrights, since the chorus was present during
the whole performance, and it would indeed be awkward always to devise an
excuse for moving fifteen persons about from place to place.0
A third unity, that of action, is bound up with the nature not only of Greek
but of all drama, for Aristotle conceived the action, or plot, of a play as of far
(30) greater importance than the characters. This conception he gained from the
plays of the fifth century generally centered around a personified passion rather
than around a character. Second in importance was characterization, and third
were the sentiments aroused by the action, for Aristotle insisted very clearly
that in tragedy the plot does not rise out of the characters, but that the plot
(35) tests the characters through the working-out of destiny, or "blind fate". The
main duty of the dramatist, therefore, was to first organize the action, then
display the moral character of people suffering the blows of fate. [br] According to the passage, Aristotle argued for the use of morally fallible characters in drama in order that
