1. Does Aristotle’s schema of the elements of tragedy have any relevance today? Comment. 

               Most of theories about art and theatre have taken place from the place from the Aristotelian classification of elements of tragedy, even modernist picks up few points from it. This makes Aristotelian scheme of elements of tragedy an important aspect in the understanding of modern theatre and by extension art. The Six Elements of Tragedy: Although we are going to look at all the six elements of tragedy separately, but one thing should be noted that these elements act like a unity when on the stage and that the separate looking is only for the sake of analysis. WhenAristotle talks about them classifying into internal and external, then also it is only for the sake of  convenience in analyzing  it. Another thing should be  noted about these elements  that they are  not as obvious as visual  auditory content of  theatre, and also  that none of these  elements is more  important than other. People often take myth as more important for Aristotle calls it as ‘soul of tragedy’, but it is not the case
