Aristotle's Six Elements of Theatre and the film, Chicago

The six elements of theatre proposed by the classical world's great thinker, Aristotle, are essentially a way of organizing the various factors which make up a dramatic stage performance. Aristotle's model also gives us a means of making meaningful evaluations of the aesthetic success of a piece of drama, usually tragedy, by providing a hierarchy of criteria which while distinct, remain inter-related.

Aristotle's model of analysis places plot at the top of the hierarchy of factors crucial to the powerful delivery of impact from a performance piece. Rob Marshall's film musical "Chicago" appears to conform to Aristotle's model quite neatly, as the live-action style of the film reveals that its impact is predominantly plot-driven. The film has been called a "song and dance comedy" and certainly does not fit into the genre of tragedy, Aristotle's model's primary focus. "Chicago" does contain elements of pathos, featured through some of the minor characters who form an interesting background for the show-stopping performances of the lead actors, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere.
