Hamartia
Hubris
Peripeteia
Action- one main plot point (no sub-plots) Place- one main space for action (one
backdrop in a play) Time- action occurs in real time (the 2-3
hours it takes for a play to start and end)
A Greek tragedy is a verse drama written in elevated language in which a noble protagonist falls to ruin through a complete reversal of fortune (peripeteia) during a struggle caused by a flaw (hamartia) in his character, such as pride (hubris), or an error in his rulings or judgments.
Name Greek Drama
January 9/10, 2011
Sophoclean Tragedy
Hamartia
Peripeteia
Catharsis
It is based on events that already took place. The audience is familiar with these events. The protagonist (main character) is a person of
noble birth and stature. The protagonist has a weakness (hamartia) and,
because of it, becomes isolated and suffers a downfall (peripeteia).
Because the protagonist's fall is not entirely his or her own fault, the audience may end up pitying him or her.
The fallen protagonist gains self-knowledge. He has a deeper insight into himself and
understands his weakness. The audience undergoes catharsis, a purging of
emotions, after experiencing pity, fear, shock and other strong feelings.
The audience leaves feeling better.
