22. Elements of Tragedy

23. Tragedy A tragic play involves a hero suffering misfortune.
Considered the opposite of comedy.

24. Aristotle’s Definition of Tragedy
“A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; in appropriate and pleasurable language;… in a dramatic rather than narrative form; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish a catharsis of these emotions.”

25. Basically…
A tragedy deals with one issue and is serious. Ex. Death. (not breaking a fingernail.)
Has a chorus which is easy to understand. Greek tragedies had a chorus whose role was to comment on the play. Like little narrators.
The play is acted out, not told like a story.
The events should make the audience feel sorry for the main character. The audience should fear for the hero as he or she moves towards a downfall.
The catharsis occurs when the hero falls flat on his/her face and realizes mistakes when the audience can finally let out their breath.

26. A History of Theater Greek drama started to honor the gods.
Thespis became known as the first actor when he stepped of a chorus to speak to them.
Sophocles (b. 496 BC)was one of the first great dramatists. He wrote many plays but only seven survive today. His tragic plays influenced Aristotle’s analysis of tragedy.

27. So Who is Aristotle?

Catastrophe: Change of fortune
Perepiteia: Reversal of intention
Anagnorisis: Recognition of catastrophe after perepiteia
