| Abstract | ||
| This paper deals with the characters of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The cultures and civilizations of the west have been based on the ideas and philosophy of these three Greek philosophers which are called "The Trio." Socrates was a social reformer. He denounced and rejected all kinds of corruption. He sacrificed his life in order to replace vice by virtue. Plato hated poets because he thought they were liars or imitators; when they describe something they are far away from the truth one degree. He says that good poetry should be didactic. As for Aristotle, he is famous for "catharsis" which means a patient should be treated with the same disease which he suffers from. He also says that in order to make people avoid committing crimes they should be purged. Purgation is done by showing the audiences acts which make them afraid of the punishment and feel pity for the victim. | ||
