Good read.         The Oxford English Dictionary quotes Hamartia. The Shorter English does not mention the word nor does the Colllns. Google does.. I bought the Shorter eighty years ago £5 Perhaps it was living up to its name..

Aba Brother

This post has given me cause for quite a bit of contemplation. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Is one type of  “tragedy” better to read or hear or view than the other?  Perhaps it’s an individual choice. Perhaps, in the end,all tragedy has the same point or ending  but the means to the end is winding. Or perhaps not. I like a tragedy that ends well. I think it’s human nature. But then, is it no longer a tragedy if the story ends well?🤗

Re: Dear Sam,

There is nothing new. Every single thought we think as new has been thought of before. They are stored in space … every sound too.m

Alas, everything has been either invented or thought before us and we simply mimic everything! Lol

It is interesting to read of the evolution of tragedy.
