Modern tragedy refers to a form of drama that explores serious themes and human suffering, often reflecting contemporary issues. Unlike classical tragedies, which typically focus on noble characters and grand themes, modern tragedies often feature ordinary people facing moral dilemmas, societal pressures, or personal failures. This shift allows for a more relatable exploration of the human condition. In modern tragedy, the emphasis is on emotional depth and psychological complexity. Works may draw from various genres, including theater, film, and literature, showcasing characters who grapple with existential crises or the consequences of their actions. This approach highlights the fragility of life and the impact of modern society on individual experiences.
