Thinking activity of Aristotle's poetics

Aristotle's poetics

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopherand scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidiki, in the north of Classical Greece. Along with Plato, he is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy". Aristotle provided a complex and harmonious synthesis of the various existing philosophies prior to him, including those of Socrates and Plato, and it was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its fundamental intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be central to the contemporary philosophical discussion.

Q-1
I agree with Plato's objection to freedom of expression and poet are free to imagine and portrays their expression about literary world and they depicts false picture of world and there by creat falsehood among people. Plato in his book 'the republic' says that poets misguide people and they provoke evil ideas in people's mind hence they should be banished from the ideal state.

Q-2
 In B.A i have studied Othello by william Shakespeare. This is tragedy. othello is one of the tragic protagonist. In othello we can see that at the end of the tragedy tragic death of othello , Desdimona and other characters are accured.Unity of time, place and action are not used by Shakespeare. I can say that Shakespeare has not used unity of action.At the end of tragedy othello becomes victum of circumstances and hus tragic death makes play more tragic.

 Q-3
I have studied Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare during B. A. The high class never went to appreciate his dramas as they believed that his dramas were specially to entertain mass rather than class.

 Q-4
Yes, I studied in b.a programme, the play Othello is very tragic, Othello is a most famous example of hamartia. he killed his wife and without knowing everything that is his error for his downfall.

 Q-5
Yes, the plot of those tragedies follow necessary rules and regulation proposed by Aristotle: for example, the plot of hairy ape as harmoniously built. We can observe the chronology of scene. As the first action takes plays at fire room and the ultimate setting is the cage of "Gorilla" that describes the struggle of "Yank".

 Thank you.

The Butterfly poem by Arun Kolatker

Here I discuss about  a poem is a literary form composed in verse. It normally gives account of personal feelings, emotions and imagination. The poem The Butterfly There is no story behind it. It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly. It has taken these wretched hills under its wings. Just a pinch of yellow, it opens before it closes and closes before it o where is it. When I was in B.A I studied various poems. For example The Butterfly which was written by  Arun Kolatkar, an Indian poet wrote about the place- Jejuri, a temple town. Jejuri is a poor place and the hills in Jejuri show the barrenness of the place. His style is simple (English) in contrast with Mahapatra where he uses English and his ideas very effectively. Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being...
