Discuss the poetics, why Aristotle felt it was important to create a way to critique plays and why we still use the poetics today. Please note: i do not want a biography of Aristotle nor a description of each of the six elements, but rather a discussion of why the Poetics is important both in ancient Greece and today and how it is used to discuss theatre.
