“Again, Tragedy is the imitation of an action; and an action implies personal agents, who necessarily possess certain distinctive qualities both of character and thought; for it is by these that we qualify actions themselves, and — thought and character — are the two natural causes from which actions spring, and on actions again all success or failure depends.”

— Aristotle, Poetics
