In Poetics‚ he defines tragedy as "the imitation of an action that is serious and also as having magnitude‚ complete in itself." • Aristotle’s idea is that the plot

The scene starts off with a shot of the moon. Moon-shots allude to horror and give a foreboding sense. You get a glimpse of Evan’s reality
