Apparently, while my focus is happy the way it is, my argument is sneaky and extremely flexible and very promiscuous. After sidling up next to the Tragic Flaw tried and true theory, it decided to try it's luck chatting up the older, more mature ones. Yep, my essay decided to sink its claws onto Aristotle's Theory of Tragedy, apparently finding it extremely attractive indeed. Of course, my argument assures me that it would still be on the tragic flaw but I'm trying to explain to said argument that eventhough Aristotle is considerably older than Shakespeare, the Elizabethan society have not even heard of Aristotle, let alone his theory. But, it seems to be confident in trying a line of argument where while Shakespeare did not know of this theory, he creates a tragedy which paralles it.
*sighs*
Let's see how this one goes. If it goes through and becomes real, I have to look up the original Poetica and read through it. *grumbles* And people say you decide how to argue.
