“Typically the main protagonist of a tragedy commits some terrible crime
without realizing how foolish and arrogant he has been. Then, as he slowly realizes his error, the world
crumbles around him. ”-PBS.org

“Tragedy, then, is a process of imitating an action which has serious implications, is complete, and possesses
magnitude; by means of language which has been made sensuously attractive, with sach of its varieties found
separately in the parts; enacted by the persons themselves and not presented through narrative; through a course of pity and fear completing the
purification (catharsis, sometimes translated “purgation”) of such emotions. ”-Aristotle

“Tragedy depicts the downfall of a basically good person through some
fatal error or misjudgment, producing suffering and insight on the part of the protagonist and arousing pity and fear
on the part of the audience.”-David simpson
