General Introduction: Eight Great Tragedies In Greek the word “tragedy” means “goat song”‚ but the connection between tragedy and goat song is obscure. Perhaps a goat was the prize at some sort of early singing contest in Greece‚ or perhaps the dancers wore goat skins. One medieval writer ingeniously suggested that tragedy is called goat song because it begins prosperously‚ as a goat is abundantly hairy in front‚ and ends wretchedly‚ as a goat is bare in the rear. Dante Alighieri‚ whose Divine

Religion is a two-way street. While it can save some‚ it is the downfall for others. In terms of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet‚ Prince of Denmark‚ this is especially true. In this work‚ there also appear to be many subliminal references to sin; more specifically‚ the ten commandments. These examples range from “Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother” to the more obvious “Thou Shall Not Covet or Steal” and “Thou Shalt Not Kill” amongst others. In all‚ Shakespeare’s use of religion within Hamlet‚ shows how

(P.U 2007) In Mourning Becomes Electra‚ O’Neill exemplified what Schopenhauer declared to be the “true sense of tragedy”‚ namely “that it is not his own individual sins the hero atones for‚ but original -sin‚ i.e.‚ the crime of existence itself.” So devoted was he to this .conception‚ that he permitted it to inform the entire trilogy. The pessimism of the Greeks may have been equally black‚ their tragedies just as aware of the crime

Introduction “A hero deserves admiration due to his inherent goodness. If he succumbs to unmerited suffering‚ he becomes a tragic hero.”_1 In Aristotle’s own words‚ “a man cannot become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall.” This statement gives the gist of Aristotle’s concept of a tragic hero. A hero must fall from grace and must be able to clearly comprehend the cause of his fall. The “fall” must take place due to an error in judgement that arises out of some flaw (hamartia)

However Shakespeare was the product of the English Renaissance. The English Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement spanning from the later 15th century until the early 17th century‚ it is associated with the Italian Renaissance which started in the 14th century. Like most of northern Europe‚ England did not get the full effect of the Renaissance
