With reference to Aristotle's poetics,discuss the significance of "plot as the soul of tragedy"plz answer in detail

In Poetics, Aristotle says that a
typical tragedy is formed of these six components:
Plot,Character,Thought,Diction,Spectacle and Song. He further says: 'Plot is the most
important, since tragedy is a representation not of men but of action and life...there
could be no tragedy without action but there could be oe without character.' Thus, we
can understand that according to Aristotle, plot is responsible for arousing the
emotions of love,pity and fear-through incidents in a damatic form and not in narrative
form.He further mentions that the action of a tragic plot must have a beginning,a middle
and an end. All parts are equally essential to the whole,i.e., the plot,and so they must
be properly ordered with an appreciable coherence.

He
distinguishes two types of plots: Simple and Complex. Simple plot is one in which change
of fortune takes place without reversal or 'Perpeteia',while a complex plot is one where
the cahnge of fortune is accompanied by a reversal or recognition or discovery or both
'Perpeteia' and 'Anagnorisis', i.e., 'change from ignorance to
knowledge.'

Here we see that ,Plot is closely related to
Aristotle's concept of 'Hamartia-an error of judgement'and 'Katharsis-purgation or
purification of soul of all its excessive emotions.' So, to depict the 'Hamartia' in an
effective and efficient way to bring about an effective and proper 'Katharsis',plot has
to be very cleary and appropriately integrated to depict the actions of men and life.
Hence, I feel this is the reason why plot is so important according to
Aristotle.
