Archetype, Tragic Hero, Tragedy

Name: ____________________ Date: __________________ Topic: ____________________ Cues (Main Points):Notes (Supporting Details and Examples): Summary Statement:

Archetype... An archetype is a basic model, a prototype, a paradigm, an exemplar. An archetype is atavistic and universal; it is a product of the “collective unconscious.”

Fundamental facts of human existence... Birth Growing up Death Love Family Tribal life Sibling rivalry Generational conflict

Creatures & Symbols... Lion Eagle Snake Tortoise Hare Rose Paradisiacal garden

Character types... The rebel The “player” The “femme fatale” The self-made man The all-conquering hero The traitor The villain The god-king The king as a sacrificial scapegoat The tragic hero

Motifs The fall from innocence Sin and redemption The heroic quest The pursuit of vengeance, justice, retribution

Themes and Motifs Theme: a common, recurring topic seen throughout a literary work; or a prominent and oftentimes abstract idea in a literary work. Motif: a recurring element (e.g., object, idea, or character type) or contrasting elements in a work of literature that help to illuminate theme. When asked to explore how a motif (e.g., a Bar Mitzvah, a Bat Mitzvah, or a Quinceañera) helps to illuminate a theme, make sure to identify a prominent idea (e.g., empathy, not age, equals maturity) in addition to a common, recurring topic (e.g., coming of age). Example: o Motif (Character Foils): o Ultima and Tenorio o Aging, senile father with a compassionate, benevolent daughter and scheming, malevolent daughter(s) o Theme (Topic): Good vs. Evil o Theme (Prominent Idea): For good to truly triumph over evil, we must learn to forgive those who perform evil deeds.

Tragic Hero... He is elevated to a high status and position in society, and he possesses noble stature and greatness. While he embodies nobility and virtue, he is flawed. His downfall or demise is due in part to freewill, an error in judgment (i.e., hamartia) associated with a tragic flaw (e.g., hubris). His downfall or demise is due in part to fate. His misfortune is not wholly deserved; the punishment exceeds the crime. He gains awareness, insight, and self-knowledge as a result of his fall from grace.

Tragedy An action of great magnitude is at the center of the plot. Pathos (that which evokes pity or sympathy) is an essential element of the play. The plot is carefully sequenced, moving from the complication to the unraveling or denouement. Complication: Prologue to turning point Denouement: Turning point to the resolution Complicated plots involve reversal (peripeteia), which is a sudden change or reversal of circumstance or fortune, and recognition (anagnorisis), which is a change from ignorance to knowledge. A catastrophe occurs, which usually spirals outward: not only does the tragic hero suffer, but his family also suffers. A catharsis (a purification or purging of emotions; a spiritual renewal) occurs.
