Tragedy Notes (25 m) Formulate a question from the topics given on the left-hand side of your handout, and then answer it with pertinent notes from the following slides. Please keep these notes safe. YOU WILL HAVE A QUIZ NEXT WEEK!

Elements of a Tragedy First, this requires the fall of a regal person. Odds are, this will be a QUICK and SUDDEN fall. How do we see this in Hamlet?

Social and Cosmological Consequences Remember when we discussed consequences for disobeying the Divine Order? Not only would there be social ramifications (shunned from family, friends, etc.), but there would also be the potential for natural disaster of some kind.

Determinism vs. Autonomy Fate v. Free Will Basically, the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power (FATE) versus free will

Determinism v. Autonomy Tragedies MUST have a balance of the two. In tragedies, we must consider how much fate and free will affect the outcome of the work. Can a tragedy be ALL fate? ALL free will? Why or why not?

External Influences These, often supernatural influences, will often signify the role of FATE

What is one of the most significant traits of a tragedy??

Multiple deaths Many many deaths

Tragic Nobility The hero MUST accept some measure of responsibility and need SOME sense of a dignified ending. This means no begging, groveling, etc. The hero needs a dignified death

Tragedy Terms

Catharsis The purging of emotions or relieving of emotional tensions (through art or music) Purging of pity and fear by the audience Fear comes from the justice that was carried out Pity comes from the fact that those who died deserved it.

Anagnorisis The critical moment of recognition or discovery Otherwise known as, “tragic enlightenment” It’s when the character realizes their part in the downfall

Hamartia Tragic flaw The quality that will bring about ruin

Pride that rivals the gods Hubris Overreaching pride Pride that rivals the gods
