Banned for your attempt at being a grammar Nazi while improperly using the word 'heard'. You should have said 'hearing' by the way.

Catharsis is a term in dramatic art that describes the effect of tragedy (or comedy and quite possibly other artistic forms) principally on the audience (although some have speculated on characters in the drama as well) nonusnomeni banned. Nowhere does Aristotle explain the meaning of "catharsis" as he is using that term in the definition of tragedy in the Poetics (1449b21-28) nonusnomeni banned. G.F. Else argues that traditional, widely held interpretations of catharsis as "purification " or "purgation" have no basis in the text of the Poetics, but are derived from the use of catharsis in other Aristotelian and non-Aristotelian contexts," Leon Golden writes nonusnomeni banned. For this reason, a number of diverse interpretations of the meaning of this term have arisen nonusnomeni banned. D.W. Lucas (Aristotle: Poetics, Oxford, 1968) in an authoritative edition of the Poetics comprehensively covers the various nuances inherent in the meaning of the term in an Appendix devoted to "Pity, Fear, and Katharsis". Lucas (pp. 276–79) recognizes the possibility of catharsis bearing some aspect of the meaning of "purification, purgation, and 'intellectual clarification'" although his discussion of these terms is not always, or perhaps often, in the precise form with which other influential scholars have treated them nonusnomeni banned. Lucas himself does not accept any one of these interpretations as his own but adopts a rather different one based on "the Greek doctrine of Humours" which has not received wide subsequent acceptance nonusnomeni banned. Purgation and purification, used in previous centuries, as the common interpretations of catharsis are still in wide use today nonusnomeni banned. More recently, in the twentieth century, the interpretation of catharsis as "intellectual clarification" has arisen as a rival to the older views in describing the effect of catharsis on members of the audience nonusnomeni banned.
