Concluding Statement
How to choose a topic
and create an outline for
the five-paragraph essay
on Aristotle and Match
Point
In my lecture on Aristotle’s theory and in
the study questions for the film Match
Point, I indicate the essential elements of
what Aristotle felt had to be in a drama to
make it a tragedy.
In this outline I want you to use THREE AND NO MORE
of Aristotle’s elements of tragedy to support one of three
possible topics: Choose three from hero, flaw, downfall,
recognition and catharsis. Look at the three you have chosen.
Do they all show that
that Aristotle’s theory works well with the film Match Point
that Aristotle’s theory does not fit the film Match Point
that Aristotle’s theory applies in some areas but not in others
in the film Match Point.
2. A summary of Aristotle’s theory of tragedy: tragedy is an
imitation of real life with universal meaning to all and involves five
elements:
1. A hero
2. who has a flaw
3. that leads to his or her downfall
4. that ends in the hero’s recognition.
5. The result of witnessing the tragedy for the audience is catharsis a release of pity and fear for the hero by the audience.
3. This outline is for five paragraphs. You will have a oneparagraph introduction; main body of three paragraphs, and a
one-paragraph conclusion.
See the form for this outline in Canvas and follow the
directions.
