Aristotle famously defined tragedy as follows:

"Tragedy, then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude...in the form of action, not of narrative; through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions."

In what ways does "Antigone" fit this definition of tragedy?
