The tragic arc refers to the structure of a tragic narrative, typically characterized by a protagonist's downfall due to a combination of personal flaws, fate, and external circumstances. It often follows a pattern that includes exposition, rising action, a climax marked by a critical decision or event, falling action, and resolution. This arc highlights the themes of human suffering, moral lessons, and the inevitability of fate, ultimately leading to catharsis for the audience. Prominent examples can be found in classic literature and drama, such as Shakespeare's "Hamlet" or Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex."

Arc
The tragic arc is a narrative structure commonly found in tragedies where the protagonist starts in a position of power or good fortune, but due to their own flaws or circumstances beyond their control, they experience a downfall or catastrophe by the end of the story. This arc typically involves a sense of inevitability and culminates in the protagonist's realization of their mistakes or shortcomings.
When a tragic hero undergoes a change from ignorance to knowledge, it is known as anagnorisis. This moment of realization often leads to the hero's recognition of their flaws, mistakes, or the true nature of their situation. Anagnorisis typically plays a crucial role in the narrative, contributing to the hero's downfall and the overall tragic arc of the story. It emphasizes the theme of self-awareness and the consequences of one's actions.
