	Tragedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origins of tragedy in the West are obscure, but it is certainly derived from the poetic and religious traditions of ancient Greece.
		Humanist writers recommended that tragedy should be in five acts and have three main characters of noble rank; the play should begin in the middle of the action (in medias res), use noble language and not show scenes of horror on the stage.
		Contemporary postmodern theater moves the ground for the execution of tragedy from the hubris of the individual tragic hero to the institutions, discourses and policies that shape the course of a character's life.

	Introduction to Greek Tragedy
		Tragedy stresses the vulnerability of human beings whose suffering is brought on by a combination of human and divine actions, but is generally undeserved with regard to its harshness.
		Tragedy was a public genre from its earliest beginnings at Athens; that is, it was intended to be presented in a theater before an audience.
		Tragedy was still being written and produced in the Athenian theater in Aristotle's day, but the plays of the three great tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides) and no doubt of other playwrights were also being read privately.

	Outline of Aristotle's Theory of Tragedy
		Tragedy, however, is rooted in the fundamental order of the universe; it creates a cause-and-effect chain that clearly reveals what may happen at any time or place because that is the way the world operates.
		According to Aristotle, tragedies where the outcome depends on a tightly constructed cause-and-effect chain of actions are superior to those that depend primarily on the character and personality of the protagonist.
		The end of the tragedy is a katharsis (purgation, cleansing) of the tragic emotions of pity and fear.

	Tragedy - LitWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-21)
		A tragedy must not be a spectacle of a perfectly good man brought from prosperity to adversity.
		There remains, then, as the only proper subject for tragedy, the spectacle of a man not absolutely or eminently good or wise, who is brought to disaster not by sheer depravity, but by some error or frailty.
		Tragedy should be used to describe the situation in which a divided human being faces basic conflicts, perhaps rationally insolvable, of obligations and passion; makes choices, for good or for evil; errs knowingly or involuntarily; accepts consequences; comes to a new, larger awareness; suffers or dies, yet with a larger wisdom.

	Greek Drama
		Tragedy, in the Aristotelean tradition, serves the purpose of purging the soul of the "fear and pity" which most of us carry around (Aristotle called this catharsis).
		Also, Aristotle's famous theory of the "tragic flaw," that is, that the reason the hero of a tragedy suffers a bad change in fortune is because he or she has some character "flaw," is not very helpful in understanding most Greek tragedies.
		The plot of a tragedy usually followed a known myth, partly perhaps for ease of exposition; but much flexibility was possible in handling the story.

	Tragedy at Theatre with Anatoly
		tragedy presents a complete story (an action) that is serious and important (has magnitude and bulk) and is dramatized for presentation on the stage rather than recounted by a narrator.
		He defines tragedy as "an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in a language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament.
		Some of the features that separate tragedy from serious plays that are merely sad or pathetic are that the hero is ultimately responsible for his own problems, is aware of the flaw but has chosen to disregard it, and persists against overwhelming odds.

	The Origin of Tragedy: Introduction
		It was patent that Greek Tragedy in the fifth century before Christ contained two widely different elements--true Tragedy concerned soley with the sufferings and sorrows of heroes and historical personages, and the Satyric drama termed by the Greeks "Sportive Tragedy", concerned solely with Dionysus and his Silens and Satyrs.
		For as the Greek term Tragoedia included both serious Tragedy and 'sportive Tragedy' (the Satyric drama), so long as the truly tragic trilogy was followed by a coarse Satyric drama, Tragedy had not freed itself from 'ludicrous diction' and attained to her full dignity.
		Aristotle, therefore, is not referring to the first beginnings of Tragedy in the sixth century, but to the state in which Aeschylus found it and from which he lifted it.

	Medieval tragedy
		The medieval concept of tragedy was quite different from that of classical literature.
		Tragedy was less the result of individual action than a reflection of the inevitable turning of Fortune's wheel.
		In medieval works, the tragedy of those who fell was often less the result of any failing in their lives or actions than the result of the capriciousness of Fortune.

	Shakespearean Tragedy
		Included in the elements common to all of Shakespeare's tragedies is the death of the hero.
		By contrast, Sophoclean tragedy demands either the death or moral destruction of the hero.
		This being true, it is possible to propose the death of the hero as essential to labeling a tragedy "Shakespearean." Therefore, when Othello dies at the end of Othello, The Moor Of Venice it is for a more fundamental reason than that a different ending would not fit emotionally or psychologically.

		For it is an act of self renunciation, in a dark and ironic sense, through which Hedda rings down her life; she does not die for another person.
		Hedda is incapable of making the distinction between an exhibitionistic gesture which inflates the ego, and the tragic death, in which the ego is sublimated in order that the values of life may be extended and reborn.
		Her inability to perceive the difference between melodrama and tragedy accounts for the disparity between Hedda's presumptive view of her own suicide and our evaluation of its significance.
