Aristotle's Poetics: Catharsis and Rasas

There is a big difference between Aristotle's poetry and the theory outlined in Bala's Nāṭyaśāstra. Both are attempts to explain phenomena related to spectator relationships and dramatic experiences. However, despite the differences, there are elements and ideas common to the elements of catharsis and lhasa, which mainly develops and influences these experiences. Aristotle believes that the tragic tragic nature contributes to the cleansing of emotions, but finally limiting it to the power of tragedy creates it.

Catharsis, mainly purification of arts or purification of emotions (especially compassion and fear). In his criticism, Catharsis is a metaphor used by Aristotle to explain the influence of the true tragedy on the bystanders among the poets. This usage comes from the medical term katharsis (Greek: "purgation" or "Purification"). Aristotle noted that the purpose of this tragedy is to evoke "fear and compassion" and thereby influence the catharsis of these emotions. His precise meaning was the subject of critical discussion for centuries. German playwright and literary critic Gottsoletine (1729-81) believe that catharsis turns excessive emotions into benign tendencies. Other critics believe that tragedy is a moral lesson. There, fear and compassion caused by the fate of a tragic hero helps warn the audience not to tempt God. Then the tragedy has a healthy and humanitarian impact to the audience or readers

Aristotle defines a tragic hero as "a person between two extremes ... not only not very good, but his misfortune is not caused by something bad or fragile" ( Yali Stodd, poet) The purpose of the tragedy is to create a catharsis by sympathizing the audience with the hero. Therefore, the purpose of the tragic personality is to generate these emotions by raising these emotions to a very high level and then descending directly. Effective tragedy leads the audience's feelings to reflect this rise and fall

That means "purification". At the end of the tragedy, Catharsis represents the release of compassion and fear from the audience. Aristotle discussed the importance of catharsis in his poem. The misfortune of the viewer facing the main character caused sympathy and sympathy. At the same time, the audience also faced the hero's failure, so we accepted to remember the limitations and weaknesses of human beings badly. The pain of tragic hero is not inevitably denied, but because it is affirmation of human values, eventually both emotions have been cleared up. Please also see the tragedy
