Define Tragedy

Tragedy according to Aristotle 1. The tragic figure is a noble, good person, but not perfect. 2. The tragic figure has a tragic flaw (hamartia), that could be an excess of a particular virtue. 3. The tragic figure’s downfall is his/her own fault. 4. The punishment exceeds the crime. Downfall has a ripple effect. 5. The tragic fall is not pure loss. Gain in self knowledge.
