tragedy--a dramatic work that presents the downfall of a dignified character who is involved in historically or socially significant events. Events in the plot are set in motion by a decision that is often an error in judgment caused by the tragic flaw. Succeeding events are linked in a cause-and-effect relationship and lead inevitably to a disastrous conclusion, usually death.
tragic flaw--the main character's quality that leads to his or her destruction (poor character trait)
tragic hero--evokes both pity and fear in readers/viewers: pity because they feel sorry for the character and fear because they realize the problems and struggles faced by the character are perhaps a necessary party of human life.
