When Aristotle has written that “poetry is a higher form than history.” He qualifies that history is the story of a particular event that happens at a particular time to a particular person or group, while literature is the story of what is universal in the human experience. I agree with this because in poetry the person shows more emotion in ways of rhyme. In the reading of Oedipus the King there were signs of emotions that are still carried out to this day such as revenge and other things that are carried out in our society. In lines 119 ceron says something that relates to the only way to make the empire great is with spilling blood of the people that have done bad to us, meaning revenge. Also oedipus found out that was found to kill his father and marry his mother which that blinded him and made him feel a type of way. this happens in our society where people find crazy news and it changes them.
