Midterm Essay

The types of Greek theater were tragedy and comedy. A tragedy was a serious drama production with themes such as love, hate, war, and/or betrayal. They almost always have a tragic hero with a tragic flaw who would probably die by the end of the play.

But if he beats her to DEATH then his daughter dies. If a slave is getting real sassy with his owner, then his ear is chopped off If  a priest woman person goes to a bar then they SET HER ON FIRE If a woman has an affair, then she and the guy will be binded and will be drowned together. Also the original husband guy can save her if he wants  If a guy accuses another guy of something, then they toss the accused into the river so that the river decides. If he's dead, then he was guilty, and if he survived, then he isn't... If a son talks back to his dad, then his hands would be chopped off. Bruh
