Ethan Frome is not a tragedy. The only thing you could say is a tragedy is that Ethan ends up living a horrible life and suffering the whole time. This novel is not a tragedy because a tragedy must contain a tragic hero, and this novel does not. Ethan is not a tragic hero, he doesn't learn from his mistakes, and he doesnt even take action. He wimps out and tries to kill himself. Some say that was taking action, but it was the easy way out. Ethan Frome is not a tragedy, it is just a cruel book that tells the tale of 3 peoples miserable lives.
the characters constantly complain about the snow and cold climatic scence hinges on the use of sleddin which is suicide. the snow symbolizes the fact that the place is dull and a lot of activities do not take place their apart from the church functions

Yes, Ethan Frome is a tragedy because everything Ethan has ever wanted has been taken away from him. He has to first leave school to take care of his parents, then is not able to go to the city because his wife Zeena gets sick, and then he can't run away with Mattie because he doesn't have enough money.
The climax of "Ethan Frome" occurs when Ethan, driven by desperation and his feelings for Mattie Silver, decides to take her sledding down the hill. In a moment of impulsive passion, they aim for a tree, intending to end their struggles together. However, their tragic crash results in severe injuries for both, marking a turning point that seals their fates and underscores the themes of despair and entrapment in their lives. This moment encapsulates the culmination of their suppressed desires and the consequences of their choices.
