Door storyboards te gebruiken, creëren studenten een interactieve manier om het concept te internaliseren en een raamwerk te bouwen om de tragische helden in de literatuur te herkennen.

How sad, he wasn't a bad person. What a terrible fate!
Behold, mortal: punishment for your pride!
NOOOOO!
At the end of a classic tragedy, the hero has struggled in vain against supernatural powers, like fate or the gods. A mistake or flaw causes the hero to fail and suffer a terrible fate.

The audience is left with a feeling of pity for the tragic hero, and fear that the same fate could befall them personally.

That was a great play, the end was very moving!
Yeah, it was intense, but I'm glad I saw it. Really makes you think.
That's the sign of a good tragedy!
Aristotle believed feeling this pity and fear helped to “emotionally cleanse” the audience, by letting them experience these intense emotions in a safe manner.
