Aristotelian tragedy typically features a noble protagonist who possesses a tragic flaw (hamartia) that leads to their downfall. The narrative follows a structure that includes a complex plot, evoking feelings of pity and fear in the audience, ultimately resulting in catharsis. Key elements also include peripeteia (a reversal of fortune) and anagnorisis (recognition or revelation). The setting often reflects themes of fate and moral dilemmas, emphasizing the inevitability of the protagonist's tragic end.
