Abstract

This paper critically examines Aristotle’s Poetics. We begin this discourse by beginning our analysis of Aristotle’s Poetics with an exposition on the man Aristotle, vis-à-vis the socio-cultural milieu that influenced his thoughts and inspired his creative genius. The basic concepts in the poetics were also explained to enhance a clearer understanding of the study. We further did an analytical overview of the Aristotle Poetics. Finally, we gave an overview of the thought of Augusto Boal towards the Aristotle poetics.
