Tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also having magnitude complete in itself. The genre excites the emotions of pity and fear. Catharsis is also seen in this genre. Tragedy touches the “pity and fear” within its audience compared to other emotions drawn in other genres. Hubris, or the tragic flaw, is often seen in this genre too.…
A tragedy is a story designed to arouse pity or fear in the audience so that upon hearing it, they are cleansed of unsettling emotions which are portrayed in the story. This catharsis is often brought on by hearing of a tragic hero in the story, or a person who is heroic, but is defeated by an error or frailty. In the book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer; the true story of a tragic Mt. Everest expedition, the guide Rob Hall was definitely a tragic hero. His courageous efforts helped many of his clients achieve their dreams by reaching the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, Rob paid a tremendous price to do so.…
A tragedy is a serious work of fiction that presents the downfall of its protagonist, who through some error in judgment, weakness in character, or twist of fate suffers crushing defeat or death. It also must involve incidents arousing pity and fear. The novel Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, and the Greek drama Antigone, by Sophocles, both have the woeful elements of a tragedy. In Antigone, the main character Antigone is of the cursed family of Oedipus, who unwittingly slew his father and married his mother, who bore him two sons and two daughters. The Gods, enraged by this incestuous relationship, cursed Oedipus’ entire bloodline. In Of Mice and Men, two men struggle to make ends in the brutal times of the Great Depression, by traveling across America looking for jobs as ranch hands. Lennie, the larger of the two, has a mental disability, so George, Lennie’s best and only friend, takes care of him no matter how many times Lennie gets them into trouble.…

Aristotle was not only a scientific genius, but someone who carved the path for the way we depict plays and furthermore, how we write them. Aristotle made it a mission to read the plays of his era, while doing so he discovered many similarities among them, creating a tragedy. A tragedy is a form of drama that is composed of three basic parts: values, characters, and a conclusion. A value is what will determine the fate of the tragic character in the play, usually the value is represented by a supernatural power. While the character has to display certain characteristics like nobility either by birth or action, it is most noted for the characters downfall. The downfall occurs either by limitation of knowledge or by a tragic flaw within…
The Cask of Amontillado is a short story that was written by Allan Poe. It was first published in 1846 November. The short story is about a man who plots to carry out some revenge to another friend who is considered to be his friend. The story has two main characters, Montressor, the protagonist and the Fortunato who is an antagonist. According to the story, Montresor has been insulted by Fortunato and he decides that he had to carry out some revenge as a way of punishing him. He, therefore, makes a plot of luring Fortunato with a cask. The story has been set up in an evening in a city that has not been named. The story is directed to an unknown audience though on the part of Montresor, we can guess that he is addressing some who knows his soul, probably a pastor. The story is narrated by Montresor from the first person of View and this has given our story credibility (Mar& Keith, 183). However, I consider the narrator of the story as an unreliable person because has in the story he has tried to justify a murder in prior to the reader. He also exaggerates the story when he talks about the thousand injuries of Fortunato. In the story, the…
At the height of his presidency, Woodrow Wilson had many successes that made a huge impact on the country as well as the world. However, he also had very bad points as well. One of those bad points was the Treaty of Versailles. In many ways, the Treaty of Versailles mirrored his presidency. His ruthlessness for self- determination in his policies coming into Paris did not allow him to get what he really wanted in the treaty. In the end, Wilson was not ready for the responsibilities of world leadership.…
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s “The birth of Tragedy” he claims that “Every artist must appear as an ‘imitator’, either as the Apollonian dream artist or the Dionysian ecstatic artist, or finally as a dream and ecstatic artist in one.” According to Nietzsche Greek art was very superficial before Dionysus. In this original art the observer was not truly united with the art, unable to immerse himself. Apollo was present to protect man from suffering and provided them with a certain level comfort. Dionysus, who comes later, shocked the Apollonian men with his ecstatic. Dionysus helped man to find that existence wasn’t limited to his individual experiences but rather a group effort, creating a communal spirit and a way to escape death. Interestingly enough Apollo is needed to reveal Dionysus. Nietzsche finds that in a real tragedy there needs to be elements of both Apollo and Dionysus. In Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening” the protagonist, Edna, is used to employ the Apollonian and Dionysian conflict effectively arousing feelings of pity and fear resurrecting the classic Greek tragedy.…
William Shakespeare was the creative mind behind some of the world's greatest plays and tragedies. Two of his most famous tragedies were Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar. One definition of a tragedy is that it depicts serious incidents in which characters undergo a change from happiness to suffering, often involving the death of others, as well as the main characters. This definition proves true in both Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.…

“Tragedy, then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions”…
The definition of a tragedy is any event with a “sad and unfortunate outcome”. Throughout the play we see constant hints of a tragedy, until the ending finally convinces us that this is definitely a tragic play. Tragedy can be represented through many different features: from structure to language and form. The use of soliloquies though, is the most effective feature used in Hamlet. It not only shows what Hamlet is really thinking, but also reveals the absolute truth and makes the audience understand why Hamlet acts to specific situations the way he does.…
