Catharsis according to Aristotle, a purifying of the emotions that is brought about in the audience of a tragic drama through the evocation of intense fear and pity If tragic feelings and intense pain is followed by cathartic emotions...if the suffering does not kill us spiritually but leads to purification and the purging of hate and resentment...if the Medusas are defeated and we are not made after the image of terrible dissipating anguish, then we can lift up our heads and smile, then we can walk towards the new life.
