Showstrates: “If you write, ‘Pausanias left the room in
anger’, readers won’t believe he was really angry. You have to show him leaving the room with fists
clenched and have him slam the door on the way out.”
Aristotle: “If
readers won’t believe that Pausanias was angry, why should they believe that he
left the room in the first place?”
Darmaticon 41c
