    Interestingly enough, it's not just Theatre that makes use of Poetics; other storytelling mediums, such as Film, also use these principles. Thanks for making this video!

      Imagino1234 Do you think the unities is as important in film or another medium as it is in theatre? Im trying to figure this out and some help would be nice.

      @@briangallagher3106 the unities is probably less important in film, because most popular films of the 21st century are catered to children and so there may be no unity of action, unity of place, to make it a film more interesting and or exciting to the average viewer

    That's a wonderful piece of work.
    I have an exam to take in morning. And watching this video has really helped me. I think, I should be able to handle the question related to Aristotle Poetics lot better. Plus, any more article on Poetics would make more sense to me now.
    A huge Thank You!

    I'm gonna write an exam tomorrow and a huge part will be aristotle aka Aristoteles in my language. Actually, even the laguage change from German (my language) to English is quite huge. E.g. the translation of eleos and phobos are more of whimper and shock instead of pity and fear. However, pity and fear would be the exact translation of Lessing's theories, so I can't even imagine, how different the greek meaning actually was. This was really helpful to visualize everything, thank you

  • @andrewade9474
    @andrewade9474 8 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    Good, but two corrections:
    1) THREE UNITIES. The Poetics only proposes two unities (action, time). The unity of place is a Renaissance invention.
    2) Sophocles didn't title his play "Oedipus Rex." Why would he? "Rex" is Latin for King, and Aristotle wrote in Greek. The play is more accurately titled: "Oedipus tyrannus."
