		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just been reading an article about Digital Object Models&#8211;I know, fun, right?  I came across this line:
&#8220;A representation may be considered a defined expression of part or all of the essential characteristics of the content.&#8221;
I was struck by this definition.  How much it relates, I think, to an Aristotelian thought on theater. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Simple and Complex Plots
&#8220;Among the simple plots and actions the episodic are the worst.  By &#8216;episodic&#8217; I mean on in which there is no probability or necessity for the order in which the episodes follow one another.  Such structures are composed by the bad poets because they are bad poets&#34; 34

		<description><![CDATA[Principles of the Tragic Plot
Again, repeating, tragedy is an imitation of an action which is complete and whole and has some magnitude.  &#34;Whole&#34; is that which has beginning, middle, and end. 30
So, then, well-constructed plots should neither begin nor end at any chance point but follow the guidelines just laid down.

Elements  = 2 = Verbal Expression and Song Composition
Manner  = 1 = Visual Adornment
Objects  = 3 = Plot, Characters, and Thought
Total   = 6 = Elements of Tragedy
The greatest of these elements is the structuring of incidents (plot).  Thus the structure of events, the plot, is the goal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Poetics, Aristotle begins by discussing basic principles.  He specifically notes:

Epic composition;
the writing of tragedy and comedy;
the composing of dithyrambs;
and the greater part of making music with flute and lyre,

taken collectively, are imitative processes.
Imitative processes is hard to nail down, as the meaning is not  precise for English translation, and I have been [...]]]></description>
