Tragedy!

Last lesson we looked at Tragedy, and what makes a tragedy.
We decided that a tragedy has 3 main elements:

• Death
• Suffering
• Chaos

It also has 3 main characters:

• Victim (Innocent, beautiful, weak)
• Villain (Evil, fatal flaw, manipulative)
• Hero (Perfect, hubris, harmartia)

We also looked at the tragic structure:

1. Introduction
2. A Complication
3. The Climax
4. A New Understanding
5. The Resolution

Really looking forward to Hamlet and assessing its tragic structure.
