hamartia

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,特别是亚斯多德主“过失”说理论影响,小说具有凝重彩。

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，亚斯多德描画了一个中心--主人公理想，并指出该堕落是因为一种叫“缺陷”（hamartia）东西。
