a .
During the Middle Ages , English drama focused mainly on ( i ) religious themes , teaching moral lessons or retelling Bible stories to a populace that by and large could not read . With the Renaissance , however , came a rebirth of interest in the dramas of ancient Greece and Rome . First at English universities , and then among graduates of those universities , plays imitating ( ii ) models became ( iii ) popular . These plays fell into two main categories : comedies and tragedies .

b .
In Renaissance England , comedy was ( iv ) defined as a dramatic work with a happy ending ; many comedies contained humor , but humor was not required . A tragedy , in contrast , was a work in which the main character , or tragic hero , came to an unhappy end . In ( v ) to comedy and tragedies , Shakespeare wrote several plays classified as histories , which present stories about England ? s earlier monarchs . Of all Shakespeare ? s plays , however , his tragedies are the ones most often cited as his greatest .

c .
In Western civilization , both comedies and tragedies arose in ancient Greece , where they were ( vi ) performed as part of elaborate outdoor festivals . According to the famous ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle , tragedy arouses pity and fear in the audience ? pity for the hero and fear for all human beings , who are subject to character flaws and to an ( vii ) destiny . Seeing a tragedy unfold produces a catharsis , or cleansing , of these emotions in the audience .

d .
In ancient Greek tragedies , the hero ? s flaw is often hubris ? excessive ( viii ) that leads the tragic hero to challenge the gods . Angered by such hubris , the gods unleash their retribution , or nemesis , on the hero . Ancient Greek tragedies also make use of a chorus , a group of performers who stand outside the action and comment on the events and characters in a play , often hinting at the doom to come and stressing the ( ix ) aspect of the hero ? s ruin .

e .
Shakespeare ? s tragedy differs somewhat from classic Greek tragedy in that Shakespeare ? s works are not unrelentingly serious . For example , he often eases the ( x ) of the action by using the device of comic relief ? a light , mildly humorous scene following a serious one . However , his tragedy presents a superior figure ( generally a person of importance in society , such as a king or a queen ) ? the tragic hero ? who comes to ruin because of an error in judgment or a weakness in character . This fatal error in judgment , which leads to the hero ? s ( xi ) , is known as tragic flaw . One or more antagonists , or opposing characters , also work against the tragic hero , and the action builds to a catastrophe , a disastrous end , usually death . The hero , though , reaffirms the grandeur of the human spirit .
