There are six elements that Aristotle sees are essential to dramatic tragedy. There are plot-structure, characters, style, thought, spectacle and lyric-poetry. Aristotle thinks that the most important is structure. I agree with Aristotle when he says, “Without action you would not have a tragedy.” Which is why structure is so important in building the action of the plot. And then without characters you have no plot. So plot-structure and characters are the two most important parts. Thought is what makes the tragedy. Characters who possess thought have real character. They know how to project their point and argue a situation. The next thing he talks about is style. He says, “The verbal expression achieved through the choice of words.” Style in turn then goes together with thought and characters.
