In what would be one of my final posts on Facebook, I wrote: Aristotle wrote, about 2,300 years ago, that though “tragedy” told the story of a great person who experiences a reversal of fortune, it didn’t do if the reversal was just bad luck. “Shit happens” might work for Forrest Gump, but it doesn’t cut it in tragedy. A tragic hero, Aristotle suggested, had to be laid low by some mistake, a character flaw, a blind spot in his reasoning. “The misfortune is brought about not by general vice or depravity, but by some particular error or frailty."
