Tragedy is a dramatic form in which the spectators derive their catharsis or pleasure from the suffering of the protagonist who undergoes hamartia or tragic flaw. Aristotle formulated Aristotle’s poetics to define the structure under which a drama has to fit in, in order to be called a typical tragedy or tragic drama. In this paper, I would like to view Aristotle’s conceptions of tragedy in the ever changing world, while focusing specifically upon the texts, “The Death of Tragedy” by ‘George Steiner’ and “Modern Tragedy” by ‘Raymond Williams.’
