Answer to Question 1

In his essay on literary criticism, the Poetics, Aristotle lays out a system for critiquing Greek tragedy that became the foundation of European theatrical criticism for thousands of years. Aristotle broke tragedy into six elements: plot, character, language or diction, ideas, music, and spectacle, and deemed plot to be the most important element. Aristotle was the first to describe climatic structure, a tightly knit form that limits the scope of events, the time in which they transpire, and the number of characters.

Answer to Question 2

C. Clear point of view supported by evidence.
