Tragedie

A “tragedy” is a form of drama or a narrative that explores serious themes and often involves the downfall of a central character, usually due to a combination of fate, personal flaws, and societal pressures. Traditionally, tragedies elicit feelings of pity and fear in the audience, leading to catharsis, a purging of these emotions. The structure of a tragedy typically includes the presentation of a protagonist facing significant challenges, leading to a climax and ultimately a resolution that highlights the consequences of their decisions. Tragedies are often characterized by their exploration of complex moral dilemmas, human suffering, and the inevitability of fate, and they can be found in various cultures and time periods, with classic examples in literature, theater, and film.
