Comparing Plato's Understanding of Mimesis to Girard's
By Per Bjørnar Grande
Bergen University College
The literature of antiquity depicts a static world; it does not show changes as a result of
everyday life.
1
The instability (of fortune) almost always appears as fate.
2
Erich Auerbach
claims that the literature of Antiquity does not reveal the underlying conditions of what it presents;

rather it alludes to this condition as fate or divine intervention. However, a certain awareness of
governing principles begins to manifest itself with Plato. Thus, with Plato the reason for
instability in society is rationalised and understood as mimesis.
