could be argued ‘Othello’ appears to conform to Aristotle’s principles of tragedy‚ of the noble protagonist who undergoes perpetia and endures suffering‚ resulting in his ultimate downfall due to harmatia‚ which he eventually realises‚ providing catharsis for the audience. However‚ upon further study‚ such devices may be interpreted to provide a different perception of the protagonist‚ as more of an atypical victim‚ exposed to the harsh reality of the society he longs to fit into‚ rather than an typical

Within these poetics‚ Aristotle explicates the difference between an Epic and a Tragedy and defines

It is noteworthy that tragedy has often been written in verse; the use of prose as the medium of tragedy is only a recent phenomenon. This

Peloponnesian War makes no mention of gods or souls or an afterlife. Instead‚ Pericles emphasizes that those who were killed did so for the sake of Athens and that they would live on in the memories of its citizens. Greek artists were the first to establish mimesis (imitation of nature) as a guiding principle for art‚ even as Greek philosophers debated the intellectual value of this approach.
