Shakespeare calls his play the Tragedy of King Richard the Second. Traditionally, following the theory of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, a ‘tragedy’ is thought to be a story of a downfall-the fall from good fortune into ill fortune-of a ‘tragic hero’ with that downfall caused at least in part by the hero’s hamartia (which may mean mistake, or tragic flaw-or perhaps a mistake made because of a personal flaw), and the audience is assumed to be emotionally moved by the fall into misfortune of the protagonist, because in spite of the hamartia the protagonist is essentially a person of noble character. Think about Richard the Second. Does this play fit the bill? Why or why not?

For this essay, Richard the second does fit the title. Talk about how throughout the play Richard was leading to his own downfall. how it is a tragedy. Richard was an overly confident king who abused his high power and in the end faced the ill fate of an untimely death.
Clearly state in the intro and conclusion the fact that richard the second does fit the title of a tragedy.
