Presentation is a main focus of tragedy. For example, Aristotle states that, “By ‘garnished’ I mean with rhythm and melody and by the ‘various forms’ I mean that some parts use spoken meter and others use lyric song.” He goes on to say that the audience responds well to decoration of anything they are to focus upon and that meter in regards to speaking is very important. Tragedy focuses on a main action that is brought to pass by the actors, who must be characterized both by the way they look and by the way they think. Aristotle goes on to say that, “For it is through these that we can also judge the qualities of thei

The form in which the structure of events should take—is one with a beginning, middle, and end. “Beginning” means nothing more than an event that gives rise to some further occurrence. The “ending,” in contrast, does not need to be followed, but simply must occur after a preceding event. The middles does nothing more than connects the beginning and the end. Following these principles, according to Aristotle will prevent a writer from beginning or finishing at random places. He goes on to compare plot and structure to a beautiful object, saying that it must have “an ordered arrangement but also an appropriate size.” As beauty must have some appropriate sizing so that it can be perceived altogether, so must plot and structures—they should be of a length that is easily held in memory.

In conclusion, if Aristotle were to view any television show, it would convey a lot about our culture: namely, that we don’t have the same ideas as did he about good drama. Firstly, most television feeds the sense of humor and does not dwell on tragedy whatsoever. Aristotle believed in the complex, not the simple, and that drama should portray fearful and pitiful events, to be clear. By watching any episode of the “Drew Carey Show,” or “Paradise Island,” or “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” or virtually anything, he would be left writing more instructions on how to write good drama, and maybe, just maybe, finessing his wardrobe, grooming, and cooking.

The characterizations play a vital role in the elements of a tragedy. Aristotle puts forth several requirements that revolve around ethical choices of characters, the appropriateness of characters, if a character is “likeable,” and consistent. Probability and necessity exist for characterization in the same way it exists for the construction of a plot. Aristotle goes on to say that recognition can be inadequate if it is
