Quote by Aristotle

Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better than in actual life.


Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better

Summary

This quote suggests that comedy, through humor and satire, tends to highlight the flawed and imperfect aspects of humanity, often portraying people in a negative light. On the other hand, tragedy tends to elevate characters and depict them as morally superior or admirable in comparison to real life. In essence, comedy seeks to magnify human imperfections while tragedy aims to showcase moral virtues and qualities that surpass what we typically encounter in our daily lives.
