By examining a few of the factors that Aristotle considered crucial to tragedy, it is possible to discern what this great philosopher might have thought about one of history's most noted tragic plays, Shakespeare's Hamlet, which Aristotle would have undoubtedly endorsed as an exemplary tragedy of the first order.
