Read Explanation:
Comedy is one of the five forms of poetry.
According to Aristotle, comedy is an imitation of inferior people; however, that is not to say characters in comedies are inferior in every way.
A comedy is a play that depicts some sort of “laughable error” or disgrace that, in turn, elicits some emotion in the audience, such as embarrassment or delight.
A comedy does not evoke fear or pity from the audience, as these emotions are particular to tragedy.
Poetics does not include a detailed criticism of comedy, as Aristotle’s assessment of comedy is thought to be in a part of the manuscript that did not survive antiquity.
