“The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it.” –James Bryce
Synopsis
By looking at 15th/16th realistic noh and Greek tragedies through the lens of Aristotle and of each other, this comparison reveals a previously unnoticed relationship between the structure of the tragedies and their performance, that is, the involvement of the third actor at the climactic moments of the plot in both and the actor stepping out of character in noh. This observation helps to account for Aristotle s view that tragedy be limited to three actors.|
