- Aristotle says that Tragedy is an imitation of an action while Dryden says that Play is a Lively Image of Human Nature.

- If you are supposed to give your personal prediction, would be on the side of the Ancient or Modern? please give reason
- The Ancient drama is superior because the Ancients closely observed Nature and Fathful represented.
- Do you think that the arguments presented in the favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate ?
- No,I do not favour of French plays because English plays are represents full of entertainment and offer an element of surprise which French do not present.
- What would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogues are concerned in the play?
- I would like to go with prosaic dialogues in the play because it would be easily understand for conman reader and while poetic dialogues are very hard.
