This paper presents an analysis defining and comparing terms as persuasion, catharsis and the sublime, in order to offer some guidelines for interpretation of the literary text. For this purpose we appeal to the following the treaties: Rhetorics and Poetics by Aristotle, as well as On the Sublime by pseudo Longinus.

Keywords : Aristotle; catharsis; persuasion; pseudo Longinus; sublime; literary analysis.
