Tragedy

Aristotle Poetics Tragedy contains serious action Tragedy concerns characters of “higher types” like nobles and royalty. Tragedy evokes pity and fear from the audience Audience experiences catharsis: purging of emotions

Shakespearean Tragedy Tragedy is an intense exploration of suffering and evil focused on the experience of an exceptional individual distinguished by rank or character or both. 2. Typically, it presents a steep fall from prosperity to misery and untimely death, a great change occasioned or accompanied by conflict between the tragic character and some superior power. It might be said, therefore, that conflict and change—the first intense if not violent, the second extreme— together constitute the essence of tragedy (Mcalindon 2).

Hamartia and Peripeteia The hamartia is “the error, frailty, mistaken judgment, or misstep through which the fortunes of the hero of a tragedy are reversed” (Harmon and Holmon 242). Peripeteia is “the reversal of fortune for a protagonist” (Harmon and Holman 384).
