Plato's Main Objections against Poets and Poetry


Ans. In the first question,
 agree to the objectionable objection to the independence of Plato's expression and the artistic independence of creative writers. If we want to live a simpler and better life, we should live a life with morality, but if we want to live a full life we ​​must follow the ideas given by Aristotle.

Q. (2).  With reference to the literary texts you have studied during B.A. programme, write brief note on the texts which followed Aristotelian literary tradition (i.e. his concept of tragedy, catharsis, tragic hero with hamartia etc).

Ans. In the second question,
According to my opinion, Plato is right according to his view, because some movies, magazines, categories are causing bad impression in society and ruining people's mind.
And the man goes on the wrong way.

Q. (3).  With reference to the literary texts you have studies during B.A. programme, write brief note on the texts which did NOT follow Aristotelian literary tradition. (i.e. his concept of tragedy, catharsis, tragic hero with hamartia etc).

Ans. In the third question,
There are some fictional scenes and powerful, a movie like Spiderman, Batman Superman, who try these imaginative things with their children and motivates them to do so, is not good for them. There are also many Hollywood and Bollywood movies which are not good for young people because they often show nude scenes, so the youth of the world has ruined their brains and spoiled society. This has stalled the development of society, and the life of man turns to the wrong activity, whose Due to the loss of man's life.


Q. (4).  Have you studied any tragedies during B.A. programme? Who was/were the tragic protagonist/s in those tragedies? What was their ‘hamartia’?

Ans. In the forth question,
I read many story novels in my college days
I studied the main character of the play 'Othello', he himself is Othello. We think that all these things are caused by some incidental events such as Hamertia, tragic mistakes, and some misunderstood because of misunderstandings. At the end of the story, Othello kills his lover Desmondo, then he realizes that what he did is not right and he starts to think himself guilty and kills himself. So we can be sorry for Othello.

Q. (5). Did the ‘Plot’ of those tragedies follow necessary rules and regulations proposed by Aristotle? (Like chain of cause and effect, principle of probability and necessity, harmonious arrangement of incidents, complete, certain magnitude, unity of action etc).

Ans. In the fifth question,
Yes, there are tragedies follow necessary rules and regulation proposed by Aristotle like chain of cause and effect principle of probability and necessity, harmonious arrangement of incidents, unity of action etc.


If you want to do all the things in one way, the plots' ideas and objection are correct.
Because in today's age human beings want to live their lives independent, they do not want to live in bondage, they want to do according to their own will and actions according to their will.
