Conventions of tragedy in drama

1. 1The three main aspects of tragedy are:
   1. [blank_start]Suffering[blank_end]: Which is what a [blank_start]main character[blank_end] has to endure.
   2. [blank_start]Chaos[blank_end]: In which the [blank_start]main character[blank_end] or [blank_start]society[blank_end] can break down. In many tragedy's, it occurs to both and this leads to death.
   3. [blank_start]Finish[blank_end]: At the play, the audience are left with reality of [blank_start]death[blank_end] and its [blank_start]consequences[blank_end].

It always relates to [blank_start]death[blank_end]. In drama, it is defined by literature that ends with the [blank_start]death of a main character[blank_end].

3. 3There are 2 main styles of tragedy:
   1. [blank_start]Classic[blank_end] or [blank_start]Epic[blank_end] Tragedy: This sees terrible [blank_start]chaos[blank_end] and the breakdown of [blank_start]society[blank_end].
   2. [blank_start]Modern[blank_end] or [blank_start]Domestic[blank_end] Tragedy: This sees the breakdown of a [blank_start]family[blank_end] to show the [blank_start]corruption[blank_end] and chaos that lurks beneath the surface of the family.

5. 5Tragedy's work to convey [blank_start]deception[blank_end] and redemption, [blank_start]conflict[blank_end] and the fall of a [blank_start]main character[blank_end]. Aristotle tried to define how they work in '[blank_start]Poetics[blank_end]'-his own work.

   2. Bconflict
   3. Cmain character

   5. EWas sent to Greece
8. 8Aristotle said tragedy is a form of drama that excites "[blank_start]pity and fear[blank_end]." Its action should be "[blank_start]single[blank_end]" and "[blank_start]complete[blank_end]" to present a reversal of "[blank_start]fortune[blank_end]" involving persons "who are held in [blank_start]great esteem[blank_end]." He believed tragedy was superior and was where real truths about [blank_start]human life[blank_end] were revealed. Comedy, for example, was for [blank_start]entertainment[blank_end] only.

9. 9What are the six components of tragedy?

10. 10The 3 Unities: Every tragedy has [blank_start]action[blank_end], which revolves around the plot in a tight [blank_start]timescale[blank_end] and in the same [blank_start]place[blank_end]. [blank_start]Shakespeare[blank_end] used the three unities and tweaked them slightly. They are useful in creating [blank_start]catharsis[blank_end].

    1. Aaction
    2. Btimescale
    3. Cplace
    4. DShakespeare
    5. Ecatharsis

11. 11Aristotelian tragedy definitions:
    Catharsis: When an audience's [blank_start]strong emotions[blank_end] are released and [blank_start]calm[blank_end] can be restored. It allows [blank_start]purification[blank_end] of body and soul and was essential to [blank_start]teach[blank_end] audience on how to behave and run their lives-which could only occur once their [blank_start]pity and fear[blank_end] from death was released.
    Hamartia: A [blank_start]fatal flaw[blank_end] leading to the [blank_start]downfall of a hero or heroine[blank_end]. It helps a tragic ending occur due to a mistake and arouses [blank_start]emotion[blank_end] because a character must have [blank_start]humanity[blank_end] for this to occur and this allows the audience to [blank_start]identify with them[blank_end].
    Hubris: Excessive [blank_start]pride[blank_end] or [blank_start]self-confidence[blank_end] and is around due to [blank_start]hamartia[blank_end]. Creates more [blank_start]pity[blank_end] is character was more noble than others.
    Peripeteia: A dramatic change in circumstances or a reversal of fortune. It is used to enhance catharsis, with the realisation of the events.
    Anagnorisis: Moment in play when a character makes a [blank_start]critical[blank_end] discovery that can lead to realising [blank_start]what caused their downfall.[blank_end]
