Reality & Meaning

Aristole:
- reality doesnt make sense as we try to find meaning of it which is hard to describe e.g) meaning of life
- reality within a film is already made so actions came from the plot e.g) revenge from a family death
- actions cause emotions & effects e.g) win money - happy, then gets it stolen - unhappy, gets in back - happy
- action drives the plot forward & without it there would be no emotion or any meaning

His theory of marrative states that without action a narrative cannot progress & that all meaning is gained as a result of this stimulus.
