What is CLASSICAL TRAGEDY ? Possibly the classical tragedy appears in  Greece in the fifth BC. Contradiction happens when it is put by Allardyce Nicoll that tragedy appears much earlier in Egypt, after that in India. However, the text of the tragedy first finds out in Athens.  In ancient Greece, it came to worship Dionysus, the god of vegetation. Tragic plays happened then before the altar of the god. The word ‘tragedy’ comes from the Greek ‘tragodor’. The word ‘Tragos’ means ‘he-goat’. A chorus was held in front of the altar of the god and goats were offered to the ‘Dionysus’. Greek tragedy was spirited especially instelling religious themes. God was all powerful and could shape human destiny. It could control human action. Thus human action and suffering, fate and fatalism  were , probably, the matter of treatment of Greek Tragedy in classical tragedy. In ‘Oedipus Tyrannus’ by Sophocles, we see fatalism. Oedipus has to suffer much due to heinous sins,...

ANSWER: In his essay ‘ Freedom’, Shaw says that man is a slave to Nature. Also, he makes a discovery of how men are really this. He has instituted an united structure of the argument of his. He begins his argument coining both lightly and deeply, laughingly but seriously. Man is a social animal. He can not live alone. He has to take the sustenance of life- activity. Owing to this, he is a slave to necessities. He must eat, drink ,sleep, wash and  dress.  These things can not be avoided by man, and therefore to them man is a slave. Although slavery is opposite to freedom, the slavery to Nature has a pleasant taste. Nature is kind. She is too kind too. She Gives man food which is very tasty. She gives him drinking water which is pleasant. He can not quench his thirst when under the scorching heat of summer he finds some cool ...
