Answer to Question 1

According to Aristotle in the Poetics, good tragedy contains a tragic character with whom the audience can identify. The character should be highborn and prosperous, and be an essentially good person who does not deserve his/her misfortune. This character should make a tragic miscalculation that causes his/her downfall, and he/she must recognize the miscalculation and see the error of his/her ways at the moment of his/her downfall. The pathos or suffering of the tragic hero should evoke pity and fear in spectators, allowing them to experience catharsis, or the purging of the audience's emotions that allows the lessons to be learned through feeling.

Answer to Question 2

D. The actor's medium is the Self. The Body, Mind, and Spirit all make up the Self.
