Tragedy and Comedy MaisrulMaisrul English Department FKIP-UNRI & UIREnglish Department FKIP-UNRI & UIR

Tragedy and Comedy Tragedy was born in Greece in the fifth century B.C, Aristotle (Poetics) define it as an imitation of an action that is serious, complete in itself, and of a certain magnitude (scale/size) … accomplish through incidents that arouse pity and fear… The word tragedy derives from Tragos (= goat). It maybe taken from the festival to honor the God of Dionysus.

Tragedy and Comedy In many cases, it is the nature of tragedy that the protagonist or the hero (chief character) must fall from power and from happiness. In more modern tragedy (on stage or movie), it does not appear in the original one but it’s combined with comedy. The combination of Tragedy and comedy then it’s called Tragicomedy.

Tragedy and Comedy Comedy, from the Greek komos (= a revel/party), originated to celebrate spring and to praise the God Dionysus, God of fertility and wine. Two Kinds of Comedy Satiric comedy: Shows a world with less attractive people (ordinary) in which human weakness or folly is ridiculed.

Tragedy and Comedy Romantic Comedy is comedy which presents an ideal world, golden world, or a world more delightful than the fact. It portrays people with indulgence/wealthy in everyday world or in some never-never land.

Tragedy and Comedy Comedy High and Low Comedy High focus on verbal or dialogue as the trigger to make funny. Ex. Comedy of manner ‘The Importance of being Earnest’ Comedy low focus on the physically action as the source of the funny. Ex. Slapstick comedy, Farce, etc
