Theatrical genres<\/a> are divided according to the type of performance and the text.<\/p>\n
\n1) Tragedy\/Tragedy Theater<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
This type of theater is directly related to the Dionysus Festivals. The words \u201ctragos\u201d meaning goat and \u201coidia\u201d meaning song mean \u201cgoat song\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the myths of Dionysus, satyrs are in the foreground. Because according to the myth, Dionysus was raised by a satyr. The satyr is also simply depicted as a goat-footed man.<\/p>\n
The most well-known feature of Dionysus is that he is the god of wine. The enthusiasm and joyful feature of wine also tells about Dionysus. At the same time, the bad properties of wine are collected in Dionysus. This, in turn, is defined by fear and horror.<\/p>\n
This is where the traits of tragedy come from.<\/p>\n
Tragedy aims to teach a lesson by making the audience feel pain and fear. Their characters are divine or noble persons. It’s not about ordinary people. Ordinary people come to life with “chorus”.
\nTragedies obey Aristotle’s principle of trinity. It doesn’t go beyond that.<\/p>\n
