The Greek concepts of hubris and hamartia are developed not only in classical Greek tragedy but also in modern American tragedy. Hubris is wanton aggression or insolence through which an excessively proud person becomes entangled in an act of violence. Hamartia is a character defect. Separate from an isolated error and distinct from depravity, hamartia causes a person's own misfortunes. Both concepts involve actions initiated by the protagonists that culminate in disaster for them. Xerxes in Aeschylus' The Persians and Heracles in Sophocles' The Trachiniae are guilty of hubris as are Royal Earle Thompson in Katherine Anne Porter's Noon Wine and Jay Gatsby in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Oedipus in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, Ethan Frome in Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome, Creon in Sophocles' Antigone, and Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman all manifest a hamartia of tragic consequences.Subjects--Topical Terms:
