SummaryTragedy is defined in literature as “the fall of a worthy, usually noble hero or heroine” and would rely basically on a protagonist who started in a high status in society and would eventually have a downfall as the story progresses ("Tragedy."). Traditional tragedy is composed of heroes or heroines that are given unexpected fate. Plots of tragedies would reveal that the hero or heroine of the story would try to resist this unexpected fate but eventually would yield to it. The gods would traditionally determine these fate or destiny in classic Greek literatures. But in modern times and in modern settings, the destiny and fate in the tragic story would be determined by characteristics, which are inherent in the hero or heroine of the story, or by the different influences of the environment or the society in which the hero belongs to. In tragedies, heroes and heroines would usually try to fight the fate that was dealt them and would struggle to become successful in life by achieving their set goals.
