Tragedy

A tragedy is a work of literature resulting in catastrophe for the main character. The main character is often noble and morally good, which can cause the audience to pity the character when disaster strikes. The character’s downfall is caused by a tragic flaw within the character, such as pride, jealousy, or doubt.  For instance, in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, the tragic hero is destroyed by his inability to take action. You will read a passage later in this lesson that demonstrates this idea. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the lovers are doomed by their fear of their families.  Tragic characters do not bounce back from their unfortunate circumstances.  As you can see from the illustration, the other Janus mask represents tragedy.

Characters  As you learned earlier, a character is someone or something that takes part in a story. Each character in a drama is played by an actor who speaks and acts out the dialogue and stage directions written for that character.  Like narratives, dramas contain both major and minor characters. Major characters are fully developed and play important roles in the action of the plot. Minor characters are not as complex or developed as major characters.  Did You Know?  No more than three actors played all of the parts in a Greek tragedy. Each actor would wear different masks to let the audience know which part he was playing.  In Shakespeare's time, women were forbidden to perform on the stage. All parts were played by men. A production of Romeo and Juliet in Shakespearean times would have cast a young man as Juliet.
