Abstract
Optical observations now present considerable information on the flare process. It is always associated with filaments and with simplification of existing magnetic connections, and it arises from the emergence and expansion of new flux. The optical flare divides into impulsive phase, with multiple flashes along the neutral line, and thermal phase, with two-ribbon expansion. The former bears some resemblance to tearing mode phenomena. The appearance of loops in emission requires very high densities in those phenomena. The ratios of the hydrogen lines, the excitation of HeII 4686, and the relation of vertical to horizontal structure all remain to be explained.
