Question

According to aristotle a complex plot should contain

Answer 1

Aristotle suggests that the best kinds of plot are complex plots that arouse fear and pity. He thus concludes that three kinds of plot should be avoided. ... Pity and fear—which Aristotle calls the "pleasures" of tragedy—are better if they result from the plot itself rather than the spectacle.

Answer 2

Aristotle seems to refine his categories of plot in this chapter, listing the complex plot which turns on peripeteia and anagnorisis, the pathetic plot in which characters are motivated by passion, the ethical plot in which an ethical sense propels the action, and the simple plot, which does not contain peripeteia or anagnorisis. Aristotle clearly favors complex plots which combine all the poetic elements to good effect.
