        Summary
        This thesis discusses whether Aristotle's Poetics - in which Aristotle explains his theory of his ideal tragedy - is still relevant, by applying it to Thomas Hardy's nineteenth-century novel The Mayor of Casterbridge. This thesis tries to demonstrate how Hardy conforms to, and also challenges Aristotle's Poetics.
