Characteristics of classical /Greek Tragedy 

      Aristotle has given some characteristics of classical Greek tragedy it is also known "Aristotle  tragedy"

*  stories already well to the audience.

*  strong religious elements are presented.

*  " Horror" and "Violence" are not shown.        on   the stage. Audience knows then by.          the "chorus "or "messenger".

*  There are only few actors between 2 to 5.      or 6.

*  Characters were of high class.

*   no mixing of tragic and comic elements.

           Aristotle wrote a little book "Poetics " in his book he give some information about tragedy. He put some of his thoughts about literature in general and tragedy in particular.

         He himself ask to question about theatre going people

1.    why we get pleasure and satisfaction by seeing tragedy? 

2.  What kind of person ought to be the chief character of a tragedy?

Answer  are :

1.    In our real life our certain emotions is pixel e p t of hair does not get used and tragedy stirs up that pity and fear like waste product. It is called Purgation and  Catharsis.

Ex - In Milton's words at the end of his Greek style tragedy  "Samson  agonists leave us "

     " With peace and cancellations and calm of mind all patient spent"

2. The hero of tragedy should be neither good nor bad if he is too good please fall will be shocking and if he is too bad we would not have pity in his fault for his on weakness is made responsible it is called Hemartia or fatal flow.

              Here our concern with the short story and that story is very interesting, with mystery and horror. This story named The Black Cat. 

The story in brief :

         The story is presented as a first-person narrative using an unreliable narrator. He is a condemned man at the outset of the story. The narrator tells us that from an early age he loves animals. He has so many pets. His wife also loves animals. They have so many pets, one of them is large Black Cat named Pluto.

         One night after coming home intoxicated narrator knew that the cat is disliked him and avoid him even Pluto don't want to go near to him, and Pluto bits his hand and in anger took his knife, held it by the neck and cut out one of his eyes.

    After doing this he was felt guilty but then even we can't control his self and sometime after he knew that what he will go to do is evil even though he caught the cat and hung it by its neck from a tree until the cat was dead.

   The next day, the narrator returns to the ruins of his home to find, imprinted on the single wall that survived the fire, the figure of a gigantic cat hanging by its neck from a rope.

      At first, this image terrifies the narrator but gradually he determines a logic explanation for it, someone outside had thrown the dead cat into the bedroom to wake him up during the fire and begins to miss Pluto. Sometime later, he finds a similar cat in a tavern. It is the same size and colour as the original and is even missing an eye.  The only difference large white patch on the animal's chest. The narrator takes it home but soon begins to loathe even fear the creature. After a time the white patch of fur begins to take shape and, to the narrator forms the shape of the gallows.

    Then, one day when the narrator and his wife are visiting the cellar in their new home, the cat gets under its master's feet and nearly trips him down the stairs. In a fury, the man grabs an axe and tries to kill the cat but is stopped by his wife. Enraged, he kills her with the axe instead. To conceal her body he removes bricks from a protrusion in the wall, places her body there, and repairs the hole. When the police came to investigate, they find nothing and the narrator goes free. The cat which he intended to kill as well has gone missing.

 

On the last day of the investigation, the narrator accompanies the police into the cellar. They still find nothing. Then completely confident in his own safety, the narrator comment on the sturdiness of the building and raps upon the wall he had built around his wife's body. A wailing sound fills the room. The alarmed police took down the wall and find the wife's corpse, and on her head, to the horror of the narrator, is the screening black cat. As he words :  I had walled the monster up within the tomb!".
