Aristotle's key elements of a play are as follows:

1. PLOT - what happens in a play; the order of events, the story as opposed to the theme; what happens rather than what it means.

2. THEME - what the play means as opposed to what happens (plot); the main idea within the play.

3. CHARACTER - the personality or the part an actor represents in a play; a role played by an actor in a play.

4. DICTION/LANGUAGE/DIALOGUE - the word choices made by the playwright and the enunciation of the actors delivering the lines.

5. MUSIC/RHYTHM - by music Aristotle meant the sound, rhythm and melody of the speeches.

6. SPECTACLE - the visual elements of the production of a play; the scenery, costumes, and special effects in a production.
