Again, Tragedy is the imitation of an action; and an action implies personal agents, who necessarily possess certain distinctive qualities of both character and thought; for it is by these that we form our estimate of their actions and these two—thought and character—are the natural causes from which their actions spring, and on their actions all success or failure depends. Now the imitation of the action is the plot; by plot, I mean the arrangement of the incidents. By character I mean that because of which we ascribe certain qualities to the agents. Thought is required whenever they prove a statement or declare a general truth. Every tragedy, therefore, must have six parts, which parts determine its quality——namely, plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, song...But the most important of all is the structure of the incidents. For tragedy is an imitation, not of men, but of action and life, of happiness and misery. And life consists of action, and its end is a mode of action, not a quality. Now character determines man’s qualities, but it is their actions that make them happy or wretched. The purpose of action in the tragedy, therefore, is not the representation of character; character comes in as contributing to the action. Hence the incidents and the plot are the end of the tragedy; and the end is the chief thing of all. So, without action there cannot be a tragedy; there may be one without character...Again, you may string together a set of speeches expressive of character, and well finished in point of diction and thought, not produce the essential tragic effect nearly so well as with a play which, however deficient in these respects, yet has a plot and artistically constructed incidents. Besides which, the most powerful elements of emotional interest in tragedy—reversal of the situation, and recognition scenes—are parts of the plot.1.In this Excerpt, the author stressed the importance of （ ）.2.According to this passage, tragedy is an imitation of （ ）.3.The author states that the elements of emotional interest in tragedy lie in （ ）.4.According to the author, a tragedy without action is （ ）.5.Implied but not stated:（ ）.
