Abstract
In this essay, I argue that Paul Ricoeur’s theories of mimesis and metaphor provide important resources with which one can talk sensibly about the truth of a dramatic work These theories give one grounds for claiming that the truth of a dramatic work is positively correlated with its importance. Conversely, the trivial work is one which lacks truth.KeywordsActual WorldActual ActionExtended MetaphorDead MetaphorDramatic WorkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
