... Therein lies the question of
what makes a good tragedy?
In Poetics, Aristotle gives us some guidelines of what a good tragedy must have.
Aristotle claims that the most important factor in a tragedy is the plot. ... The characters of the tragedy are simply the agents to carry out the
action. ... Now the aim of a tragedy is to give the audience a sense of pity
and fear. ... The next important factor in a tragedy is that the plot
must be possible and probable. ...
In a weird twist of fate, sending the baby to be killed in order to avoid the tragedy, only
made the tragedy come true. ... The
reason for its success could be because it contains all the qualities that Aristotle says a
Tragedy should have.
