Tragedy often shows people's great spiritual strength and great personality through the destruction of justice, the sacrifice of heroes or the suffering and fate of heroes. Lu Xun has a famous saying about tragedy: "Tragedy destroys valuable things in life for people to see." Yes, it is through the form of destruction that tragedy causes great shock to the audience's mind, and makes people get the edification and purification of beauty from grief. Sorting out the history of world drama, most of the earliest ancient Greek tragedies originated from myths and legends and heroic epics. Aeschylus represents the highest achievement of ancient Greek tragic art and is called "the father of tragedy" by later generations. The "tragedy of fate" that appeared at that time reflected that social forces and natural laws, as an incomprehensible and irresistible fate, opposed people at this historical stage, leading to the tragic ending. King Oedipus by Sophocles is a famous representative of another famous tragedy in ancient Greece. The "character tragedy" at the end of the Middle Ages reflects the contradiction and struggle between the feudal ethical system, religious rule and anti-feudal social forces in the long-term feudal society, and embodies the sharp conflict between humanistic ideals and dark reality. For example, Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet is a classic. In capitalist society, "social tragedy" emerges as the times require, exposing all kinds of unreasonable social phenomena and evils, with a clear and strong critical spirit, such as the tragedy La Traviata adapted by French writer Dumas according to his novel of the same name. It can be seen that due to the different times and historical conditions, tragic works present their own unique artistic styles.
