Exploring the intersection of drama theory and literary adaptation, this seminar paper examines John Dryden's concepts of drama in relation to Aristotle's principles, using Dryden's "All for Love" and Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" as case studies. It argues that Dryden adhered closely to Aristotelian principles, significantly influencing the tragedy genre in his era and beyond. The analysis highlights Dryden's role as a pivotal figure in 17th-century literature and his contributions to the understanding of dramatic structure and theory.
