Antigone by Sophocles as a tragedy of love and power, Doctor Faustus by Marlowe as a tragedy of failure intellect, Othello by Shakespeare as the tragedy of an Aristotelian tragic hero, The Cherry Orchard by Chekhov as a tragedy of bourgeois, Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw as a tragedy of knowledge, and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë as a tragic love story symbolize distinct types of manners in acknowledged literary fictions.
