          "A play ought to be a just and lively image of human nature represanting it's passion and humours and the changes of fortune to which it is  subject for the delight and in instruction of man kind."

       Eassy in "Of Dramatic Poesy " the major consen is related to the definathion of drama.To understand of definition we have keep in mind to thing ,drama and poesy both are imoportant matter .Two words DELIGHT ,and PLEASRE ,is very imortant in the definition .

(5) In the vedio five contrroversy regarding use and avoidance of rhymes in Dryden's essay  "of Dramatic poesy ". Critic first says that  does not go at all with the opening part of our greed .drydens most famous play  "All for love" is not in vers . Neander says that,Adding of rhyme actualy  incrises the grandeer of the thought ,action ,matches the seriousness of the play.

(6) In the vedio six the arguments between crites and neander about the use of' Rhymed verse' and 'blank verse'In the play.Christ says rhyme is unnatural in the play . In is just not lively human nature . Literature is sensory phenomenon,natural words natural place that create natural sound which adds tone to the work " no man without premeditation speak in rhyme" Christ highlighting this matter while using blank verse or rhyme that is there.
