2 Organization of Society Rights and Responsibilities of Individuals Material Well-Being Spiritual and Psychological Well-Being
3 Ancient - Little social mobility. Social status, marital partners, and occupations are chosen by or inherited from parents and therefore determined at birth Modern Social status dependent on wealth, which is the reward for achievement valued by others. Therefore social status, marital partners, and occupations for most people are not determined at birth
4 Ancient Few or no rights and not much concern for them. Concern is for responsibility to relatives, communities, overlords, or kings. Modern... the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
5 Ancient Nobility uses wealth to maintain power and insulate themselves from such misfortunes as famine and plague. In addition, the authority of kings is bolstered by the role of religious traditions to discourage such threatening enterprises as science, technology, and trade (Creates a new social class) Modern A world of merchants, bankers, lawyers, doctors, scientists, and technicians.
6 Ancient Little freedom but psychological comfort Modern Pursues his own material happiness but often at the expense of his psychological and spiritual well-being
7 The modern world is the only world in which ordinary individuals have ever assumed they all had the right to pursue their own happiness. Problem is this pursuit has robbed modern man of his sense of identity, purpose, security, worth, and place.

9 Perfect definitions and an airtight system of classification are impossible It is unnecessary that we classify each play we read or see The quality of experience furnished by a play may be partially dependent on our perception of its relationship to earlier literary forms, and therefore familiarity with traditional notions of tragedy and comedy is important for our understanding and appreciation of plays Whether or not tragedy and comedy be taken as the two all-inclusive dramatic modes, they are certainly, as symbolized by the masks, the two principal ones

11 A literary tragedy presents courageous individuals who confront powerful forces within or outside themselves with a dignity that reveals the breadth and depth of the human spirit in the face of failure, defeat, and even death
12 The term Aristotle described as some error or frailty that brings about the protagonist s misfortune is hamartia. This word has been frequently interpreted to mean that the protagonist s fall is the result of an internal tragic flaw, such as an excess in pride, ambition, passion, or some other character trait that leads to disaster.
13 Maybe better to translate the word to mean mistake. The protagonist will mistakenly bring about his own downfall, not because he is sinful or morally weak, but because he does not know enough.
14 The point when the hero s fortunes turn in an unexpected direction. Typically, a selfdestructive action taken in blindness that leads to a diametrically opposed result from what was intended
15 The protagonist recognizes the consequences of his actions moves from ignorance to knowledge
16 Aristotle described catharsis as a purgation of the emotions of pity and fear. We are faced with the protagonist s misfortune, which often seems out of proportion to his or her actions, and so we are likely to feel compassionate pity. Simultaneously, we may experience fear because the failure of the protagonist, who is so great in stature and power, is a frightening reminder of our own vulnerabilities.
17 The tragic hero is a man of noble stature The tragic hero is good, though not perfect, and his fall results from his committing an act of injustice (hamartia) either through ignorance or from a conviction that some greater good will be served The hero s downfall, therefore, is his own fault, the result of his own free choice not the result of pure accident or villainy or some overriding malignant fate The hero s misfortune is not wholly deserved the punishment exceeds the crime The tragic fall is not pure loss. Though it may result in the protagonist s death, it involves, before death, some increase in awareness, some gain in self-knowledge Though it arouses the emotions of pity and fear, when performed well, the audience should achieve a sense of emotional release, a catharsis, at the end of the play

19 Because comedy exposes human folly, its function is partly critical and corrective. Where tragedy challenges us with a vision of human possibility, comedy reveals to us a spectacle of human ridiculousness.
