Hi,
The renaissance period is a literary movement that is marked with rebirth of knowledge. It is a renewal or what I can call the 'spring' of that period. It started at the ascension of King Henry VIII into power and it peaked at the period of Queen Elizabeth.

This ecstasy with tragedy themed the works of Marlowe who wrote The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus, amongst others. This theme is also featured in almost all the works of Shakespeare especially his now classical Romeo and Juliet. These writers believe in Aristotle's concept of tragedy which deals with the imitation of an action that is serious and complete, having magnitude, with a view to meet a catharsis or a purgation of emotions.
