THE GENERAL AND THE P<strong>ART</strong>ICULAR<br />
‣ Although tragedies depict historical figures, they<br />
always show how people in certain situations<br />
could act.<br />
‣ The purpose is not to express the particular but<br />
the general > the typical.<br />
‣ Therefore the poet is closer to the truth than the<br />
historian.<br />
‣ Artists should have the freedom not to copy<br />
reality blindly > it is all about the effects that a<br />
tragedy has on the spectators.<br />
‣ Effect is sorted when what is represented is<br />
credible.
