Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page explanation specifying that John Milton's "Samson Agonistes" falls into the literary genre of classic tragedy. Contends that the classification of "tragedy", however, is not to be confused with the more common contemporary usage of employing it to describe any type of catastrophe or form of bad luck. Instead, this literary genre provides a dramatic yet serious and dignified depiction of sorrow and misfortune which are either encountered by or caused by a heroic individual. In the case of "Samson Agonistes" this heroic individual is Samson himself. Samson, however, can be contended to be both a hero and a failure. His failure lies not in his lost battle but in his refusal to acknowledge his own role in that loss, his refusal to acknowledge that obliged the call of his libido over that of his God. This is the nature of tragedy as a literary genre. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
