Tragedy - Free Essay Examples and Topic Ideas

Tragedy refers to a sorrowful or catastrophic event that results in great suffering, pain, or loss, typically in the lives of individuals or society as a whole. It often involves the downfall or destruction of a protagonist who exhibits tragic flaws or is caught up in circumstances beyond their control. Tragic events can be caused by fate, human error, or the actions of others, and they often explore themes of mortality, despair, and the limitations of human existence. Tragedy can also serve as a powerful tool for reflection and self-examination, prompting individuals and society to reevaluate their values, beliefs, and priorities in the face of adversity.
