ARISTOTLE_FOURTYPES

                                         July 30 - October 9, 2018

Also in Section XVIII, Aristotle                           ARISTOTLE_POETICS
lists the four kinds of tragedy:

  complex
  pathetic
  ethical
  simple

complex: "depending entirely on Reversal
         of the Situation and Recognition"

pathetic: "where the motive is passion"

ethical:  "where the motives are ethical"

simple: "exemplified by the Phorcides, the
         Prometheus, and scenes laid in Hades"

The purely spectacular is excluded here                SPECTACULAR_ARISTOTLE
(but might be included in the "simple"?).
