Definition.
Tragedy, then, is an imitation of
an action that is serious, complete,
and of a certain magnitude; in
language embellished with each
kind of artistic ornament, the
several kinds being found in
separate parts of the play; in the
form of action, not of narrative;
with incidents arousing pity and
fear, wherewith to accomplish its
katharsis of such emotions.

Aristotle.

of an action that is serious

 Eklavya
 Imitating the action of thumb cutting

scene.

 Arjuna
 Imitating the action of target viewing

scene.

 Dhronacharya
 Imitating the action of teaching his

Prince disciples.
Structure of the play
 In the INCENTIVE MOMENT , the cause is down








played and the effect is emphasised.
The CATASTROPHE is caused by the earlier
incidents that took place.
In the RESOLUTION moment, the EFFECT IS
EMPHASISED AND THE CAUSE IS DOWN PLAYED.
The THEORY OF UNITIES are broken by T.P.
Kailasam.
Although there is no use of deus ex machina, but we
see the duo in Act 2, reaching the forest of Eklavya
as a coincidence.
There is a complex plot in the play as we see
Peripeteia and Anagnorisis .
Catharsis
