The word Tragedy means "goat song" as often in early Greek Theatre a goat was sacrificed to the God of fertility, wine & harvest, Dionysus. Tragedies were written as a trilogy linking theme, characters & plot. Aristotle created the 5 rules of tragedy that still apply today. A tragedy is a moralistic story of what happens when man comes in conflict with the "Gods" or when man does not follow the laws of the Gods, then bad things will follow. They were designed so that the audience could have a "catharsis or spiritual purge", or a real good cry and inspire the people to live a better life.
