The poet and the historian differ not by writing in verse or in prose. ... The true difference is that one relates what has happened, the other what may happen. Poetry, therefore, is a more philosophical and a higher thing than history: for poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular.
Now character determines men's qualities, but it is by their actions that they are happy or the reverse. Dramatic action, therefore, is not with a view to the representation of character: character comes in as subsidiary to the actions. Hence the incidents and the plot are the end of a tragedy; and the end is the chief thing of all.
The plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy; Character holds the second place.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, showing what kind of things a man chooses or avoids.
A Complex action is one in which the change is accompanied by such Reversal, or by Recognition, or by both.
Reversal of the Situation is a change by which the action veers round to its opposite, subject always to our rule of probability or necessity.
Recognition, as the name indicates, is a change from ignorance to knowledge, producing love or hate between the persons destined by the poet for good or bad fortune. The best form of recognition is coincident with a Reversal of the Situation.
