1) do you find any difference between Aristotle definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of play?
Aristotle definition in 3 parts :-
-lovely image of human nature
- represent passions & huma change of future
- delight and instructions to mankind
deference Aristotelian tragedy's ends with catharsis,sadness and seriousness.
Drydens play ends with delight, humours and pleasure.
2) if you are supposed to give your personal predilection would you be on the side of the ancient or the modern? Give response.
Both are true and necessary on his place. I would like to be on the both side of modem as well as on the ancient. All .Are are necessary for each other. Ancient represent real story and situation that era. and modern are imitate something from the ancient. they present something new way new ideas with present situation. WithoyW supppsu ancient modern not grow it more.
3) do you think that the argument presented in favour of the french plays and against english plays are appropriate?
