The concept of Ideal hero and Hamartia.AleeenaFarooq
According to Aristotle, the ideal tragic hero is neither perfectly virtuous nor entirely wicked. He is generally a good person of high status who makes an error in judgment or has a character flaw that ultimately leads to his downfall. This downfall causes both pity and fear in the audience. The hero's demise is a result of human frailty rather than deliberate vice. Examples given are Oedipus, whose downfall stems from multiple errors including ignorance, passion, and character defects, and Othello, whose jealousy arises from an avoidable error of judgment. Aristotle argues this type of hero and plot best provokes the intended emotional response from viewers.

This document summarizes the key differences between Shakespearean tragedy and Aristotle's definition of tragedy. It notes that Shakespearean tragedy features multiple plotlines, many characters from both higher and lower classes, and a mixture of tragic and comic elements, while Aristotle's tragedy focuses on a single plot, only a few higher-class characters, and strong religious themes without comedy.

Comparison Between Waiting for Barbarians and Heart of Darkness KAVITABA P. GOHIL
This document provides information for a paper on African literature, including a synopsis, definitions, introduction of novels, and comparison of characters between Heart of Darkness and Waiting for Barbarians. It discusses how colonialism and imperialism portrayed African natives as barbaric others through exoticization and notions of civilization versus savagery. While Conrad presented Africa as dark and natives as cannibals in Heart of Darkness, J.M. Coetzee's Waiting for Barbarians provides a post-colonial perspective that questions who the real barbarians are.
Ppt 11 post colonial studies - commonwealth literature doe not exist.KAVITABA P. GOHIL
This document is a presentation on Commonwealth literature prepared by a student for their English literature course. It discusses how Commonwealth literature refers to writing by non-white British, Irish or American authors in English. However, the term has been criticized for creating an exclusive "ghetto" that restricts writers and demands works conform to perceived homogeneous traditions from a single cultural background. The presentation examines problems this approach causes and questions the need for such categorization in an era of globalization.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

DEUS-EX-MACHINA
2. Page 2
WHAT IS DEUS-EX-MACHINA?
Deus ex machina is a Latin calque from
Greek meaning ‘God from the machine'.
The term has evolved to mean a plot device
whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is
suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired
and unexpected intervention of some new
event, character, ability or object. Its function
can be to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot
situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the
tale to a happy ending, or act as a comedic
device.

8. Ancient criticism
“when they don't know what to say
and have completely given up on the play
just like a finger they lift the machine
and the spectators are satisfied.”
-Antiphanes
9. Modern criticism
But the new non-Dionysiac spirit is most clearly apparent in the endings of the new
dramas. At the end of the old tragedies there was a sense of metaphysical
conciliation without which it is impossible to imagine our taking delight in tragedy;
perhaps the conciliatory tones from another world echo most purely in Oedipus at
Colonus. Now, once tragedy had lost the genius of music, tragedy in the strictest
sense was dead: for where was that metaphysical consolation now to be found?
Hence an earthly resolution for tragic dissonance was sought; the hero, having been
adequately tormented by fate, won his well-earned reward in a stately marriage and
tokens of divine honour. The hero had become a gladiator, granted freedom once he
had been satisfactorily flayed and scarred. Metaphysical consolation had been
ousted by the deus ex machina.
— Friedrich Nietzsche
10. Conclusion
Before concluding this topic I would like to
reveal some scenes from Hamlet and some
from Oedipus rex ;to make it clear that how
and in which situation writers had used the
term DEUS-EX-MACHINA in plot.
