The nearer the tragedy is to <em>auto<\/em>, the closer associated the hero is with divinity; the nearer to irony, the more human the hero is, and the more the catastrophe appears to be a social rather than a cosmological event. Elizabethan tragedy shows a historical development from Marlowe&#8217;s demigods in a social ether to Webster&#8217;s analysis of a sick society; but Greek tragedy, which never broke completely from the <em>auto, <\/em>never developed a social form, though there are tendencies to it in Euripides.
