Week 1: Vocab list #1

NOTE: When searching for these terms, make sure that you find the definitions that pertain to LITERATURE, and drama. Otherwise, you may come up with some very funny definitions indeed! Here's an example of what I mean--the first one is not the definition I want:


 * tragedy (noun): An event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe.**

But the definition I am looking for is about drama:


 * tragedy**(noun): A play dealing with tragic events and having an unhappy ending, esp. one concerning the downfall of the main character.

ALSO NOTE: Please write the definitions BY HAND. I don't want any cutting/pasting.

ALSO NOTE: Please write definitions in a column: on the left, write the word and definition. Leave the right side blank until tomorrow.
