In (Oedipus the King) briefly outlines Aristotle\u2019s philosophy on poetry as “higher from history.” Revealing the ideology of his thought on tragedy focuses on tragic heroes, which usually features Kings and other important figures as an example of a human experiencing tragedy.\u00a0 An exemplification of this is Oedipus\u2019s shame due to his delusion of a rumor that leads towards incest. In Aristotle\u2019s given thoughts of poetry, the tragic hero suffers from his moral failing as a king (Hamartia).
