Affect Theory, Genre, and the Example of Tragedy employs Silvan
Tomkins' Affect-Script theory of human psychology to explore the
largely unacknowledged emotions of disgust and shame in tragedy.
The book begins with an overview of Tomkins' relationship to both
traditional psychoanalysis and theories of human motivation and
emotion, before considering tragedy via case studies of Oedipus,
Hamlet, and Death of a Salesman. Aligning Affect-Script theory with
literary genre studies, this text explores what motivates fictional
characters within the closed conditions of their imagined worlds
and how we as an audience relate to and understand fictional
characters as motivated humans.
