Question

Define true sublime and false sublime as propounded by Longinus??​

Answer 1

According to Longinus, for something to be categorized as "sublime", it should reunite traits which are hard to reach and that are quite complex to perform. According to him, these sublime our souls should be lifted up which should contain a thought field with joy and pride.

It should be like these ideas were conceived by our own selves. False sublime is the opposite of this like using flamboyant language or making things over complicated.
