This paper assesses our notions of the tragic, from Greek to modern day, in the context of literature. It discusses how 'tragic' writing has evolved through time, from the Greeks and Romans, through Shakespeare, to Hardy. Can real life be called 'tragic'? Can tragedy be personal, or does someone's downfall only count as tragic if it is in the public eye? What distinguishes tragedy from comedy?
