Definition of a Shakespearean Tragedy
A Shakespearean tragedy is the polar opposite of a comedy; it "...exemplifies the sense that human beings are inevitably doomed through their own failures or errors, or even the ironic action of their virtues, or through the nature of fate, destiny, or the human conditionto suffer, fail, and die...." In other words, it is a drama with an unhappy ending.
Shakespeare Tragedy according to Othello : Othello, the Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, , and based on the Italian short story "Un Capitano Moro" ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, first published in 1565. The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his wife Desdemona; his lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted Iago. Its varied and current themes of racism, love, jealousy, and betrayal.
1. When we read 'Othello' , we are deeply touched with the feeling of pity and fear for Othello, the tragic hero of the play. We know that Othelo loved his wife Desdemona more than his life. He loved her to the level of madness. Therefore , he could not even think of sharing his love with anyone else. When Iago falsely told him that his wife was having a secret love affair with Casio, he could not bear it. He murdered her in a moment of extreme excitement. But when he knew the truth, he came back to his sense and willingly embrace death . He paid back his love with his life. So, we really and deeply feel pity for him. We also shake with fear thinking that we might be in his position and the tragedy might come down in our own life. We like to identify ourselves with Othello.In this way the purgation of pity and fear is completed within us. According to Aristotle this is called 'cathersis' and it is the main requirement of a tragedy. So we can say that 'Othello' is a great tragedy.
