A tragedy is the ordsprog

A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious, and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and terror, with which to accomplish its purgation of these emotions.

Tragedy is thus a representation of an action that is worth serious attention, complete in itself and of some amplitude... by means of pity and fear bringing about the purgation of such emotions.

Tragedy is an imitation of a whole and complete action of some amplitude. . . . Now a whole is that which has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

The arousing of prejudice, pity, anger, and similar emotions has nothing to do with the essential facts, but is merely a personal appeal to the man who is judging the case.

I'm a word man. See, there's this theory about the nature of tragedy, that Aristotle didn't mean catharsis for the audience but a purgation of emotions for the actors them selves. The audience is just a witness to the event taking place on stage.

We have no plan to appeal the notice of penalty at this time. We don't dispute what was in the immediate-action order or that any of the incidents occurred. As a matter of fact, we're the ones who reported the incidents to Ecology as required by our permit.

Pathos would make you cry. It would enlist your sentiments. Pathos has those things as its end. They want you to feel emotions. The emotions rule. Tragedy doesn't think of those as its end. It's a big difference.

Fighting terror is a 24-hour-a-day job. Security cooperation must be accompanied by unilateral Palestinian action to pre-empt terror,

Our emotions are only ''incidents in the effort to keep day and night together.

It's never enough, given the magnitude of the tragedy, solidarity is never enough,

HEART, n. Figuratively, this useful organ is said to be the seat of emotions and sentiments . . . . It is now known that sentiments and emotions reside in the stomach, being evolved from food by chemical action of the gastric fluid.
