According to Aristotle’s definition of tragedy as it is stated by McManus (1999), tragedy is the replica of one’s actions as it is brought in a dramatic way and not narrated. It is also mentioned by him that tragedy is much more profound than history simply because history just state facts or figures of what happened during that time while tragedy exaggerates of what may happen in that certain situation. The aim of tragedy is to consummate its catharsis of such feelings like “Fear” and “Pain”.…

“The truly tragic kind of suffering is the kind produced and defiantly insisted upon the hero himself so that, instead of making himself better, it makes him worse and when he dies he is not reconciled to the law but defiant…” - W.

We started the exam by playing the game of “King Says” which I believe has a very close meaning behind the game which relates to our story of Antigone. We had to only do the things that the king says, and if the someone does something that the king did not say, then they will have to die in a dramatic way. Not only is it a good warm up activity, it also helps you learn more about how Antigone felt that she fulfilled her goal when she was finally disobeyed the king and buried her brother…

In the introduction, the first pattern Foster points out is the Faustian Bargain—the deal with the devil. Foster describes this bargain as the exchange for "something [the hero] desperately wants—power or knowledge [...] and all he has to give up is his soul" (xxiv). My question is whether this concept can be expanded to include offers for the hero to join the antagonist. The first example that comes to mind is Star Wars. Darth Vader cuts off Luke Skywalker's hand, reveals himself to be Luke's…
