…showed last 75 words of 602 total…is a perfect example of what Aristotle meant by a tragedy. It talks about a man who has no say in what path his life would take, a man who once had everything. He was a king, a good husband and father, a man contented with his lot in life who eventually lost his status, wife, children and home. He brings us sympathy simply because he was not evil or foolish, just human and fallibal.
