So we learnt about tragedy, (this blog is going to be nowhere near as witty as Louis', I haven't actually read it but i saw that he has a picture of walleee so that's mine put to shame already). Tragedy is the idea of death, normally at the end of the play. It has three main themes. 1. the idea of suffering: this is normally around the central character. 2. the element of chaos: which is the 'breaking down' of something. In a classical tragedy, society itself disintegrates, for example in Hamlet, Denmark no longer has a King or Queen at the end of the story. And thirdly, and most importantly, the idea of death, normally at the end of the play.
Then we did heroes, villains, and victims. The hero tends to be the main protagonist, for example in macbeth it is...macbeth. They tend to have ambitious qualities and be things like 'a good soldier'. The villains in macbeth are the witches. The villain in a story always tend to make us fear them and have some sort of insanity. There are various victims in macbeth, Macduff, Duncan and the Kind (i'm loling at that spelling mistake and therefore i'm not going to correct it) and all of them are innocentttt. k cheers byee
