Aristotle’s “Poetics”
Aristotle describes poetry as an instinct of imitation. In our nature we have the instinct to imitate, because that is how we come to learn our earliest lessons. At some point we come to the point where we have learned something so well that we are no longer conscious of the imitation. Pleasure is felt through the things imitated because the poet is given an outlet for expression.
