TRAGEDY Tragedy is a type of drama dealing with characters who are placed in a stressful situation that leads to a disastrous conclusion. In many tragedies, a noble lead character has a personal trait, a tragic flaw, which eventually causes his or her downfall. Another characteristic of tragedy is the occurrence of something that is beyond the control of the characters. This is seen as fate or luck, suggesting that humans are subject to forces they can not control. Finally, tragedy contains an important moral lesson. The lesson may be that human weakness is our fate, or that only by accepting human nature can we transcend death. Now cover the passage and listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin preparing your response. Using points made by the professor, explain what makes Romeo and Juliet a tragedy.
