Hamartia isn't a fatal flaw of character. It's a mistake the tragic hero makes. The ancient Greek word refers to missing your archery shot. Now, the mistake may arise from a flaw in character, or it can be a temporary lapse of judgement. The point is that the hero makes a mistake and in this way brings his reversal of fortune upon himself.

Greek tragedy, despite what Aristotle said (he was wrong about most things, lies in the fact the world itself is doomed. Tragedy is the natural state of man, and wisdom lies in facing this fact with courage, even wisdom. The tragic flaw is a somewhat simplistic view of tragedy.

I like tragedies just because I love seeing people suffering the consequences of their mistakes and love those 'everybody dies' type of endings. Also very educative, because I'll take great care of not repeating their mistakes.

I love this video but there's one flaw it only talks about Greek tragedy but not so much on the other varieties of tragedy like Shakespearean tragedy, revenge tragedy, domestic tragedy, etc.

This misunderstands everything about tragedy. Though i dont blame the writer of this video. The way tragedy is taught and understood in general is a misunderstanding.
