Tragedy & Theatre Greek and Shakespearean  Similarities  Exposition: actors to give description of setting and background  Both provide gaps between scenes in order to create breaks or comic relief within a tragedy.  Both question the nature of man’s destiny in the universe.  Both show that heroism means to accept the pain and hostility of life with dignity.  Both use external forces to control or manipulate the characters

Theatre & Tragedy Greek  Uses chorus to introduce exposition.  Single theme and plot  Fewer characters (and actors). Characters had to be individuals of “great” importance.  Performed at religious festivals in outdoor amphitheaters  Used masks and elaborate costumes  Playwrights were well-respected public officials Shakespearean  Uses the actors to introduce exposition.  Multiple storylines and themes  Much larger cast of characters; more actors were on stage at time. Shakespeare used characters from all walks of life.  Performed on smaller stages and courtyards. Commercial entertainment.  Rarely used masks; mostly used wigs and costumes.  Playwrights’ reputations and status among high society was precarious. Seen as anti-establishment.

Tragic Hero Greek  The tragic hero’s fate is determined by the gods. Man is helpless against the divine power of the gods.  Tragic flaw: pride or arrogance  In order to reach catharsis, tragic heroes can be exiled, die, or accept a life of eternal misery. Shakespearean  The tragic hero takes responsibility for the choices that lead to his fate/ruin Sometimes supernatural forces are at play.  Macbeth  Julius Caesar  Othello  Tragic flaw: various possibilities  Jealousy  Vengeance  Ambition  The only acceptable way a Shakespearean tragic hero can reach catharsis is through death.
