The word imitation is most talked about word in Poetics.

Before
Aristotle, Plato used the word in his poem called The Republic in a way
that duplicates the representation of action, things and behaviors. But
Aristotle changed the way poetic imitation is considered. It is
considered as an imaginative creation where poet creates something
new.
Imitation er concept poetry aar other fine art ke combine kore.
Imitation fine arts ke differentiate kore other arts theke. Plato poetry ke
aar paintin ke soman vabe dekhe aar Aristotle poetry aar music ke
soman vabe dekhe. In Aristotals theory imitation represent kore
passions and emotion of men jeita also imitated by music. Seijonno
Aristotle er theory imitation er range take extend kore. Music, comedy,
tragedy, comedy, painting sob hoche imitation er model. Art ke tin

imitation and manner of imitation.
Medium of imitation er mane hoche je ekta artist ja jinish die imitate

Aristotle bole je objects of imitation hoche men in action jeikhane
men hoche either higher or lower type. Aristotle bole je tin dhoroner
objects of artistic imitation ase, Ethos, Pathos and Praxis. Ethos hoche
paermanent manusik svab jeitar madhome ekjoner human character

will, feelings and emotions, sei jonno poetry hoche imitation of human
life.
Manner of imitation hoche tin vage vaag kora jai. 1) a poet may use
narrative method. 2) may use dramatic method. 3) combination of two
method.
Poetry imitates men as better or worse than they are in real life. Poet
give us truth of an ideal kind of man instead of real life. They give us
what men could be or ought to be but not what they are. Poet tell us
ideal world from that the ideal truth is. They most of the times tell us
lies.
Aristotle also tells us that art imitates the ideal reality of the world.
Jeivabe nature e sob jinish constantly growing kortese aar boro hoche,
poet ra sei upward movement of nature ke imitate kortese picture er
madhome.

Unity of Action
According to Aristotle, the action of tragedy must be a complete whole.
Complete mane bujache je eitar beginning, middle aar end thakte
hoche. Beginning mane bujache na je eitar ase kichu ghotona howar
por kintu beginning mane hoche hoche eita suru kichu naturally
exisiting jinish er por. Beginning er por ase middle. Middle hoche jeita
naturally happens kichu jinish howar por. End hoche mane
Unity of time
The unity of time refers to the concept that the action of the tragedy
tends to take in a single day, or, according to Aristotle, the action of
the play should try to "as far as possible, confine itself to a single
revolution of the sun."
Unity of time
Unity of time er concept hoche je that the action of the tragedy seems
to happen in a single day. Aristotle bole je the action of play should be
constrained to a single revolution of the sun, jotoduri somvob hoi na
keno kintu single day te constrained hote hobe.
Unity of Place
Unity of place refers to the idea that everything takes place in a
singular setting. Unlike the epic, where the setting is vast, the setting
of the tragedy is relatively small.
Unity of place hoche idea that sob kichu hoi ekta single setting e.
Jokhon Aristotle epic aar tragedy ke compare kore, se bole je epic e
several action happens simontaniously at several place but tragedy te
action cannot happen simonteniously because stage is one place and
not several places.
Conclusion e Aristotle never connected the unities of time and place
with imitation. Unity of action is the higher and controlling law of the
drama (law of the dramar modhe unity of action hoche sob cheye
upore). Unity of time and place are only secondary values.
Sydneys Acquisition
First, poetry is a waste of time, there are many other fruitful braches of
knowledge and a man might better spend his time in the than in
poetry.
This first charge Sydney dismissed very easily. He says poetry is the
noblest kind of learning (high minded) because it teaches us virtue and
it move our mind to pursue virtues action (amader mind ke move kore
je valo kaj korar jonno). There is no other branch of learning which can
perform these two functions more effectively than poetry. Poetry
hoche more useful arts.

Secondly, poetry is the mother of lies.

Sidney said a poet is the least liar among all the writers that exists
(bolse je sob writers der modhe ekjon poet hoche the least liar.) Sidney
said an astronomer and the geometrician may be found to have told a
lie if their measurement of the height of the stars proves to be wrong.
A physician may prove to be a liar if the medicine which he prescribed
for the treatment of a disease kills the patient. A poet never lies
because he never declare the truth of anything. The historian declared
many things that to be true that in the long run were found to be false.
The bible declared that there are 4 corners of the earth but now it
proves to be false. The poet never lies because he never declare
anything. The poet does not deal with facts but with fiction (made up
story) he includes truth of an ideal kind.
Thirdly, poetry is the nurse of abuse, infecting us with many base
dsires.
(Poetry have bad influence on us)
The third charge says that poetry have bad influence on us. It is filled
with love-theme and fills the mind of men with base desired (manusher
mone kichu desire toiri kore love somporke). Sidney agrees that
modern poetry is filled with love-theme but love is not bad because it
shows an appreciation of beauty. He said poetry does not abuse men
but men who abuses poetry. He also said that poetry always has been
moving men to do heroic action (poetry manush der ke move kore valo
kaj korar jonno).
Lastly and most importantly, plato has banished poets from his ideal
commonwealth.
The last accusation was that poetry is so bad that even Plato has
banished poets from his ideal commonwealth (Plato poet der ke banish
korse tar ideal society theke). Sidney did not agree with those who
claimed that Plato was against poets. He said Plato did not stand
against poetry but against the poets who tried to abuse it. Plato found
that poets at his time was filling peoples mind with false opinions of
the gods (plator somai poet ra wrong information chorachilo god der
nie). He pointed out that Plato had a high place for poetry. He has
regarded the poet as a light and winged and sacred thing.
Doctor Faustus
Tragic Character
Faustus was the tragic hero of Marlowes play. Beginning of the noble
Faustus was preparing to get a career as a magician. He imagines to
become wealthy and gaining access to all the knowledge of the
universe. He is an arrogant, have self confidence but his ambitions are

very grand that we cannot help being impressed and we also feel
sympathetic toward him.
He decided that making a deal with Mephastophillis (the devil) would
fulfill his goals. He then pretends to ignore what such deal would
actually mean. He sometimes tell himself that hell (jahannam) is not
so bad and only only need courage. Other times he tries to make him
self belief that hell does not exist. The tragic flaw in his character is
that his desire for this knowledge that he thinks that he is entitled to it.
As his character develops the readers can understand the corruption
that goes along with the pursuit of such knowledge and also the
potential consequences that goes along with it. In the end Doctor
Faustus hoped to get too much and in doing so he gets all the things
that is rightfully his. An excess of anything becomes a bad thing.
Faustuss excess pride and intellectual curiosity ultimately took him to
hell. He refuses to ask for forgiveness for his sins and damned to hell
for his actions. He believed that making deal with t he devil will get
him ultimate power and knowledge that he was looking for.
Good Angel and Band Angel
When doctor Faustus seriously start to think about his soul and the
things that he is doing, a good and a bad angel would appear. The
good Angel would try to convince Faustus to abandon his sins and
return to God. The bad Angel would try to get Faustus continue to
pursue his magic and remain loyal to the devil. This is all in Faustus
head. The good angel is his desire to ask for forgiveness to God and
the bad angel is his desire to keep on pursing for the knowledge and
shine.
Throughout the whole play Faustus remains divided. On one hand he is
pretty sure that he will go to hell the minute he made the deal with the
devil to become his servant. This is what the bad angel wants him to
belief.
The good angel wants him to belief that its not too late to ask for
forgiveness to god and god will forgive him. In the end the bad angel
wins.
