Just like with most all the other aesthetic principles we have covered, there is a fine line between it and its opposition, whatever it happens to be. The "area between mimicry and mockery," creates an arena for both flattery and farce. Like Plato's discussion of knowledge falling into the wrong hands, this discourse on mimicry suggests there are two sides to every coin, whether it's a form of art or forming of a nation.
