Rymer had strong views on how Tragedy should be written and performed and wrote expensively On the subject . Poetic Justice or, as Rymer expressed it , poetical Justice, demanded that those of good character were rewarded And that the evil were punished . He was also of the view that plots Should not be implausible and that dramatic works should have Moral ... Poetic Justice definition in literature , poetic justice is an Ideal form of justice , therefore , writers employ poetic Justice to Conform to moral principles. For instance , if a character in a novel is malicious and without Compassion in the novel ,he is seen to have gone beyond Improvement . Then, the principles of morality demand his Character to experience a twist in his fate and be punished . Similarly, the character who have suffered at his hand must Be rewarded at the same time Example of poetic Justice in Literature. Leer us analyzed a few examples of poetic Justice in Literature is to adhere by the universal code of morality , in that Virtue triumphs vice . The idea of justice in literary texts manifests The moral principles that virtue deserves a reward , and vices earn Punishment. In addition to , readers often identify with the good Characters . They feel emotionally attached to them, and feel for Them when they suffer at the hands of wicked character . Naturally, Readers want the good characters to triumph and be rewarded , but They equally wish the bad characters to be penalized for Their Evilness. First element : "The English writer of tragedy " As Addison says are possessed with a notion , that when they Represented a virtuous or innocent person in distress , they should Not to leave him they have till they have delivered him without any Troubles , and save him from enemies . This fault they have been Led by a ridiculous doctrine in modern criticism and that they Obliged to an equal distribution of punishment and rewards , And impartial execution of poetical justice . And we find that good And evil action and happen for all men on this side of sad and Grave , so as the principles design of tragedy is to rise commiseration and terror in minds of audiences , and we will defeat the great End we have Aristotle and Plato speak about literary criticism and Tragedy for example Aristotle in order to appreciate Aristotle's Criticism of poetry and the fine arts it is essentially to have some Knowledge of literary criticism in antiquity prior to him, of the curr- Ent critical theories methods , and of the general , it is also essent- Ial to have an idea of views of Aristotle on ethics and morality in General . And Plato was the most important literary critic before Aristotle , he marks the culmination of a critical phrase in history Criticism , he also inaugurates a new academy to which pupils From distant , parts of country , and his ideal was to turn out young Men of well-formed personalities fit to be leaders and rules of an Ideal state . Hence to attack on poetry SECOND ELEMENT : ADDISON'S REVOLT we always make virtue And innocent happy and successful , and there are three observation Are to be made in regard to the foregoing quotation . In the first Place , it is clear and evident that Addison had in mind Aristotle's Definition of tragedy , then , is an imitation of an action that is Serious , complete , and of an a certain magnitude , in language Embellished with each kind of artistic ornament , the several kinds Begins found in separate parts of play , in the form of action , not Of narrative , through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation Of these emotions .Now as tragic imitation implies person acting , It necessarily follows , in the first place that spectacular equipment Will be a part of tragedy . Next, songs and diction , for these are The medium of imitation . By diction i mean the mere metrical Arrangements of words .and ADDISON'S words mean and refer Distinctly to the last of syllables of this definition, and give us Reasons therefore to conclude that the study of the development Of the idea of poetic Justice must be taken into consideration the Views of commenters on the part of Aristotle's definition refer to Fear and pity . Addison reply to this thought that these emotions Could not be aroused if the dramatist always rewarded the virtue And with like regularity punished vice . And there were others Maintained that this same emotional and the rule for rewards and Punishment in regard to all the characters of the play . but most Important of all is the structure of the incident . For tragedy is an Imitation ,not of men , but an action of life , and life consists in Action and it's end is a mode of action ,not a quality. THIRD ELEMENT: FEAR AND PITYIN POETIC JUSTICE fear and pity Is considered as function of drama and may be aroused by specta- Cular means; but they may also result from the inner structure of The piece , which is the better way , and indicates a superior poet. For the plot ought to be so constructed that, even without the aid of The eye , who he hears the tale told with thrill with horror and melt To pity at what takes place . This is the impression we should Receive from hearing the story of the Oedipus , actions capable this Effect must happen between persons who are either friends or Enemy or indifferent to one another . If an enemy kills an enemy is Nothing excite pity either in the act or the intention , except so far As she suffering in itself is pitiful . So again with indifferent Persons . But when tragic incident occurs between those who near Or dear to one anther-if, for example , a brother kills or intends to kill , a brother , a son his father , a mother deed of kind is done _ these era they are the situations to be looked for by the poet and The second observation to be made concerning the quotation front Addison is to the effect, that he evidently holds that Aristotle Neither in statute nor recommended the doctrine of poetic Justice The sweeping charge that this doctrine has no foundation in the Tragedies of the Greeks , is followed by an argument based on Aristotle's idea of tragedy and Addison understood the poetics Well enough to realize that Aristotle regarded the spectacle of un- Rewarded virtue as suitable means of arousing the emotions of pity And the speak of the origin of poetic justice as one of the problems Of literary criticism . And Dennis , who wrote a reply to Addison , did Not regard the problems as difficult one . But who were the first Who established this rule he is not able to tell . And the action may Be done consciously and with knowledge of the persons , in the Manner the older poets . It is thus too that Euripides makes Medea Slay her children. Or, again , the deed of horror may be done, but Done in ignorance , and the tie of kinship or friend ship be Discovered after wards .and i take it from granted , that a man who Is ingenious ,and who tells us expressly in thirteenth chapter of his Critical spectator, which pedants call his poetic , that since a Tragedy . FOURTH ELEMENT: poetic Justice in drama.....an essay on the genius and witlings of Shakespeare with some letter of criticism to the spectator , issue, especially since it doesn't appear That Addison made any formal objection to the proposition that Aristotle was the originator of the doctrine of poetic Justice..... That Addison was somewhat impressed by the weight of the Arguments advanced by the various critics in favor of theory. It was One of his most irritating characteristics . He amused himself, Indeed, in an essay , printed about a week later than his previous One , by citing a couple of lines which he called humorous, from Translation of boil au made by Dennis . Towards the close of the year, when the spectator was nearing its end , Addison Returned to the subject . He defended his former position , though Without mentioning his critic .the reference suggested the impress- Sion that he considered the critic a dunce ;but it could be Constructed into, Dennis was puzzled by its end though he could Not from indulging in further comment, and it is clear he did not How to take what he side. The he reply of Dennis , in which Aristotle Was mentioned as the author of poetic Justice, was practically Ignored by Addison . He recognized his opponent only indirectly . And does not the same deluded philosopher tell us in the very Same chapter that the fable to which he gives the second Preference , is that what has a double Constitution , and which end By double catastrophe , thus Aristotle was the first who establish This ridiculous doctrine of modern criticism.
