What is tragedy?
|
For a play to be a tragedy there are a few basic things that need to come into play. there has to be a noble figure who is better then us but goes through a reversal of fortune that's where the noble figure was having good luck then starts to have unimaginable bad luck then they recognize the consequences of his/her actions when they a facing uncommon suffering, but they do so with dignity. the mane reason the authors do this is so they can reach are heart strings and emotions by the way the character handles and goes through this punishment is shows us the true meaning of a man that is why William Butler Yeats calls it a terrible beauty.

this is my take on Shakespeare's Macbeth this is Frey tag's plot structure pyramid is show how the rise and fall of Macbeth how i have come to these terms was by reading the play and watching the movie so i could get a full understanding on the plot structure to this brilliant peace of work made by William Shakespeare.

My tragic hero paragraph.
I see Mr. Freeze as a Tragic hero, once know as Dr. Victor Fries (Fries is pronounced Freeze) he was a very talented scientist until a horrible accident happened in his research lab he was a brilliant cryogenicist who beloved his wife(which leaded to his down fall) who had a disease that was killing her from the inside out (this was the start of his uncommon suffering). to save his beloved wife he froze her and started research on how to cure his wife's illness. but the corporation that funded his research (and his wife's life) pulled the plug which caused an accident that transformed Freeze's body to be cold blooded and in order to survive he needed to be below subzero temperatures but while this happened he lost his wife (taking the suffering with uncommon dignity) he became evil and blamed batman for his wife's death. we feel bad for Freeze because we can't imagine losing some one we love like that so we feel sympathy for him because his loss pulls at the heart Strings.
