Aristotle's poem is the earliest work of drama theory that survived, and is a good source for studying Aristotle's tragedy view. According to Aristotle, the tragedy is characterized by seriousness. It expresses or imitates the reality. Therefore, it is imitation of behavior and life, imitation of happiness and pain. The tragedy of the plot usually develops around famous and prosperous heroes facing the reversal of wealth, especially due to his own tragic defects. This figure contains two main elements: inversion and recognition. Reversal occurs when the situation appears to have evolved in one direction and then suddenly reverses in the opposite direction. Edepus' investigation on the murder of Lipus is an example of this factor. Consciousness is where the hero learns the truth of the situation or understands himself and other characters.
