How to describe the tragic style? What are the aesthetic characteristics of tragedy?

Of all the literary forms, tragedy is the most serious and sublime, and this special style distinguishes it from the funny, light-hearted, and satirical judgment of comedy, and constitutes a sign that identifies tragedy.

Aristotle was the first to propose that tragedy should be concerned with seriousness, defining tragedy as "the imitation of a serious, complete, and lengthy action" (Note: Aristotle, Poetics).

Seriousness is not funny or frivolous, but solemn and solemn, and its formation is determined by the object of tragic imitation. The tragedy takes the noble or kind person as the protagonist, and the protagonist turns from good times to bad times, and his firm belief and tenacious will determine his indomitable struggle with the other party, which is the struggle with the "bad" or "ugly" side is you win and I lose, you live and die, but the ending is that the protagonist suffers misfortune, so one after another extraordinary character actions, it determines that the tragedy is a serious atmosphere and style on the whole. The stylistic markers of ancient Greek tragedy, as revealed by Ahl, have in fact become a common feature of almost all the tragedies of later countries around the world.

According to the above, in short, it is passed. The description of the character, a kind of expression of the character in a serious tone... The noble spirit (faith, character) expresses the author's admiration and admiration for this spirit, or reflects the various defects and cruelties of the times, etc., mainly flexible, and the other is noble and serious, these two are very important.

There are four types of tragedy. There are heroic tragedies: such as "Prometheus Bound" in ancient Greece, as well as plays by France's Gaurneille and Germany's Schiller.

There are family tragedies: such as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, Racine's Phaedra, Cao Yu's Thunderstorm, etc. There is a tragedy of fate:

For example, the ancient Greek "Oedipus King", Goethe's "Faust", and Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" and so on. There is also the tragedy that expresses the needs of people's daily life, that is, the ordinary fate of "little people". Such as O'Neill's "Anna Christie", "Beyond the Horizon", Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and so on.

The aesthetic characteristics of tragedy are the aesthetic characteristics of tragedy. Tragedy is the destruction of valuable things for others to see (Lu Xun). Its aesthetic characteristics are magnificent and sublime, and its aesthetic value is edification and liberation.

Compared with comedy aesthetics, which examines the audience's recognition and understanding of witty and irony, tragic aesthetics examines the audience's resonance and understanding of human nature and social suffering, pain, and helplessness.

As a kind of literary and artistic work, tragedy has a reference object to interpret human aesthetic concepts in a certain era or under a certain background at a certain level.

This article refers to "The Anxiety of Identity".

Tragedy is particularly touching because it captures the emotional weakness of human beings. Many tragedies involve the loss of identity, such as Shakespeare's Othello, where you see how a person can ruin his or her happy life with his own hands. The role of tragedy in interpreting identity, to put it bluntly, is to kill chickens to show monkeys and resonate with monkeys.

The effect of a good tragedy must not be to make the audience laugh at the unlucky guy, but to make the audience feel pity, think about why he ended up like this, and then think back on his life and feel alert. Therefore, in a good tragedy, the tragic character must not be a 100% villain, but an ordinary person with common advantages and disadvantages, and the cause of the tragedy is usually the shortcomings that ordinary people have, or the difference in thought, or even the will of God.

In this way, tragedy can warn people that the identity you have now is actually very fragile, and you yourself carry something that could destroy it, then people will have more sympathy and understanding for people who have lost their identity in real life, and the standard of identity will no longer be black and white. It can be seen that literary works have great power to change society, no matter what era it is, whether it is easy to change identity, and the anxiety of identity can be alleviated by literary means.
