"Rex” means king

Step-by-step explanation:

He defines the tragedy as "the imitation of an action that is serious and also as having magnitude, complete in itself." The basic difference Aristotle draws between tragedy and other genres, such as comedy and the epic, is the "tragic pleasure of pity and fear" the audience feel watching a tragedy.
