Aristotelian Tragedy
Tragedy depicts the downfall of a noble hero or heroine, usually through some combination of hubris, fate, and the will of the gods. The tragic hero's powerful wish to achieve some goals inevitably encounters limits; usually those of human frailty (flaws in reason, hubris, and society), the gods (through oracles, prophets, and fate), or nature. Aristotle says the tragic hero should have a flaw and/or make some mistakes (hamartia). The hero need not die at the end, but he /she must undergo a change in fortune. In addition, the tragic hero may achieve some revelation or recognition (anagnosis-"knowing again" or "knowing back" or "knowing throughout" about human fate, destiny, and the will of the gods. Aristotle quite nicely terms this sort of recognition "a change of ignorance to awareness of a bond of love or hate."
Quote by J. D. Salinger author of The Catcher in the Rye
"What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while.... What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though."

Should 'prentice himself to the trade;
And study all day,
In methodical way,
How to flatter, cajole, and persuade"
