Question

In a Greek tragedy, the suffering of the protagonist is typically the result of some tragic mistake or fatal flaw, which is also called _____.

logos
hamartia
peripeteia
anagnorisis

Answer 1

The answer is A. Logos

Answer 2

The answer here is - hamartia. "Logos" is just the way of writing, employing logical thinking. "Peripeteia" is a turning point, a reversal of circumstances. "Anagnorisis" is a moment in a play when a character makes a critical discovery. So we are left only with hamartia, which is "a personal error in the protagonist's personality that brings about his tragic downfall".
