Gullivers Travels
Aristotle probably would have liked Titanic. He might have even compared it to Sophocles' Theban Plays, celebrating Jack and Rose as one might appreciate Antigone and Oedipus. We can't be sure, of course, but in all likelihood Plato's student would have praised the late 90's sob story as an exemplary specimen of tragedy. Maybe that's the reason Aristotle's treatise on Poetics runs into a few icebergs of its own. His first Titanic-sized mistake was equating poetry to science. Aristotle tried to dissect plays and the art of tragedy as if they were a pickled frog in high school biology class. He applied his consistently rational mind to a sphere of ideas which are usually assigned to the emotional and, at times, even irrational. https://lnker.com/fZZKx
