In figurative usage, as for example, like in a Greek tregedy the implication is that the tragic (sad) outcome is an inevitable result of the key character's personal flaws. He or she was 'doomed' to disaster (death) from the outset.

What best describes greek trajedy?

Greek tragedy is a form of ancient drama that originated in Greece, characterized by serious themes and moral dilemmas. It often features noble protagonists who face insurmountable challenges, leading to a tragic downfall, typically due to a fatal flaw (hamartia) or the whims of fate. The genre emphasizes catharsis, evoking pity and fear in the audience, and often incorporates elements of the supernatural and themes of hubris, justice, and the human condition. Notable playwrights include Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.
