Sažetak

There are two dominant directions of affect theory within science of literature. The »affective policy« which leans on the works of B. Spinoza, G. Deleuze and B. Massumi where the affects are considered through the notions of movement, rhythm, encounter, dynamics… and the theory introduced by E. Kosofsky Sedgwick and A. Frank on psychological differentiation of positive, neutral and negative affects of S. Tomkins. The present paper, relying on the last mentioned theory, shows an interrelation of the genres of tragedy and the affect of disgust performed by D. Lucas. Lucas (2018) claims that every literary genre uses characteristic emotions or affective states. The thesis that tragedy as a genre addresses scenarios of disgust and fixes the damage occurred through a character’s humiliation, is proven on the examples of Oedipus, Hamlet, Willy and Biff Loman.
