hamartia

In chapter thirteen, Aristotle outlines an ideal of the central character of tragedy, the so-called tragic hero, and identifies the source of the character's downfall with something called hamartia.

在第十三章，多德描画了一个悲中心角色--悲主人公的理想，并指出该角色的堕落是因为一种叫“悲性陷”（hamartia）的东西。

It is obvious that Freek tragedy,especially Aristotle's hamartia has greatly influenced Hardy's writing and there is a serious vein of tragedy throughout the novel.

哈代在创作中受到希腊悲,特别是多德悲主角“过失”说理论的影响,小说具有凝重的悲色彩。
