If indeed you find that our contemporary idea of tragedy is different than the one Aristotle championed, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aristotle on Tragedy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The Poetics “Tragedy is a representation of a serious, complete action which has magnitude, in embellished speech, with each of its elements [used] separately in the [various] parts [of the play]; [represented] by people acting and not by narration; accomplishing by means of pity and terror the catharsis of such emotions”]]></description>

		<title>Aristotle on Comedy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are the two quotations we discussed in class: From The Poetics: &#8220;Comedy is the imitation of people who are rather inferior [in the sense that they are laughable], for the laughable is a sort of error and ugliness that is not painful and destructive&#8221; From The Tractatus Coislinianus (argued to be a summary of [...]]]></description>
