Elizabethan/ Tragedy Notes The Elizabethan people firmly believed in something called “the Divine Order” or “The Great Chain of Being.” This means that EVERYONE had a certain purpose and place in the kingdom. For example…

Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order Great Chain of Being Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order God Angels (seraphim, cherubim) Humans (kings, merchants, men women, etc. Animals (mouse, dogs, lions, etc.) Plants (grass, trees, etc.) Nonliving Objects (rocks, metals, etc.) Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order

Divine Order Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order Kings Queens Nobles Merchants Peasants Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order

Divine Order Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order Fathers Mothers Brothers Sisters Peasants Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order

Social and Cosmological Consequences There would be 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.

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?

Revenge must be central to the action Tragedy Notes Revenge must be central to the action Revenger can be a hero or a villain Action must involve a blood revenge (kinship) Hesitation is typical on the part of the revenger Revenger wants to kill the target’s body and soul

…continued 6. There is a visitation by the ghost of the original murder victim 7. There’s often a suicide 8. There is counteraction by the antagonist 9. There are multiple deaths 10. Madness of the revenger (feigned or real)

Can a tragedy be ALL fate? ALL free will? FATE vs. FREE WILL Basically, the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power (FATE) versus free will 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

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 KEY TERM: Regicide- the deliberate killing of a monarch

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