CHAPTER III

THE THEORY OF THE DRAMA

ARISTOTLE'S definition of tragedy is the basis of the Renaissance theory of tragedy. That definition is as follows: "Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narration; through pity and fear effecting the proper _katharsis_ or purgation of these emotions."[109]
