your question no too get meanig. make i help you help do your assignment sha.

The elements of tragedy according to Aristotle are;
Music, Language, plot, character, and spectacle

Briefly:
Music: every good tragic plot must have some elements of music either as songs, instrumentations, etc. he emphasises this with the use of The Chorus in all Greek plays

Language: It must also posses strong language usage. the context of the language must not be pedestral

Plot: the story must be told in such a way that it will have a beginin, a middle and an end, without conflicting itself. meanwhile the begining of the story might be in the end, etc

Character: A good tragic plot must contain noble (usually powerful and influential) human personalities, headed by the hero, around whom the whole plot revolves

spectacle: involves the use of theatrics that will help stupify the senses of the audience. costumes, make up, lighting, set / stage design et c are the issues of cosequence here. this things help emotions grow. tragedy is about emotions.

GENERALLY however, the point at which tragedy occurs is that point when the audience/reader begins to purge their emotions, when the hero looks at himself and discovers his own mistake(s)/error(s) (flaws) and sees the destruction ahead that he cannnot repair. This is the tragic point in any tragic plot.

I hope say my tory helep u sha.
