The difference between someone dying from a random accident and someone dying from tragedy is:

In a tragedy, the person brings it on him or her self by choice

Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, had a childhood best described as:

Privileged with many famous writers and scientists visiting her home

A tragic flaw is part of a tragic hero's character. It is best described as:

A character trait, such as ambition, that leads the tragic hero to ruin

What is the great ambition of Walton, as he describes in letters to his sister?

To become famous, like Homer or Shakespeare, To achieve greatness by being the first person to reach the North Pole

"Uncanny" is one of the aspects of a gothic tale. It is:

Something that we recognize in our subconscious

Walton, the sea captain, writes his letters from:

Russia on his way to the North Pole

A tragedy has a tragic paradox. This is:

When there is a choice to be made, but neither is a "right" choice
