tragoed Metamorphosis of the Tragedy in Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, and Desir
Metamorphosis of the cataclysm in Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, and Desire Under the Elms calamity is considered by legion(predicate) to be the greatest of the genres. Often something goes wrong and exposes something great. Characters mostly have more depth as evidenced by Hamlet. Tragedy shows up in the great periods of history Classical Greece, Renaissance, and the early twentieth century. It is a far more complex genre than comedy or romilitary personnelce. It teaches people to think since the storylines never have a simple decide or resolution. We descry this in Desire Under the Elms. Family relationships and inheritances are heterogeneous and even when Abbie kills the baby, Eben decides to join her in her guilty plea when he is clearly not a participant in the murder. Unlike comedy, there is little spectacle onstage. Iokaste hangs herself offstage, King Hamlets murder is only reenacted but not seen directly, and the earshot doesnt see Abbie murder her baby. This fo rces or allows the audience members to use their imaginations to envision these crucial scenes, adding a layer of complexity to the play. Hamlet we are reminded of fate by the line, Theres a divinity that shapes our ends. Then in Desire, Cabot consistently looked to God for direction. These situations dont allow us to remain passive and simply be entertained when we view tragedy. We moldiness grapple with the tough issues of life. Plot is considered significant in tragedy for many reasons. . Plot examines the limits of human greatness. It is the most examined area in the study of literary productions probably because it is unique to humans. It can be both edifying for an audience and, at the same time, allow for a catharsis. Plot allows characters to play bulge their fate. Freud believe... ...e less class conscious, the need for high status of one man disappears. In Desire the hero(es) were farmers. Another course that tragedy has evolved is through more comedy bein g added to the tragedy. Oedipus has no real comic scenes. Hamlet had a few, but Desire had evidence of comedy sprinkled throughout by way of the brothers, the dance, food and drink, and animal references. Tragedy also had evolved to the point of having more romance. over again romance was missing from Oedipus, we saw a bit more in Hamlet between Claudius and Gertrude and Hamlet and Ophelia. But then in the late tragedy romance is at the center of the play, albeit an uncomfortable, complicated romance. Some exercise in the play Desire include the sexual advances, the kiss and go away together, the reuniting at the end, stage directions that describe the physical appearance.
