Technotronic was a Belgian electronic music project formed in 1987 by Jo Bogaert, who gained popularity in Europe as a solo artist with various new beat projects, including Acts of Madmen and Nux Nemo. Together with rapper Manuela Kamosi, he produced the single «Pump Up the Jam», which was originally an instrumental released under the name The Pro 24s. Based on Farley Jackmaster Funk’s «The Acid Life», this instrumental initially included vocal samples from Eddie Murphy’s «Delirious» live set from 1983 and was months later replaced by newer music, along with lyrics from Kamosi (Ya Kid K) prior to the song’s international release in September 1989. With Bogaert adopting the name Thomas De Quincey, a front for the act was put together (in a way similar to other Eurodance/Europop products like Black Box or Milli Vanilli), utilizing Congolese-born fashion model Felly Kilingi who was presented as the group’s rapper, appearing on the single’s cover art and in the music video.

The song became a worldwide success, eventually reaching No. 2 on both the US Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart in late 1989 and early 1990.

Also in 1989, Kamosi contributed vocals to the single «Spin That Wheel», produced by Bogaert under another pseudonym called Hi-Tek 3, with Ya Kid K fully credited as guest rapper. This original version was released by The Brothers Organisation in conjunction with Telstar Records UK in early 1990, and reached number 69 in the UK chart.^[2]

1990s career[edit]

The success of the project’s first single led to the release of Pump Up the Jam: The Album, which featured tracks by Ya Kid K and MC Eric. During 1990 the album would climb into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 in the US and reached No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart.^[3] They also became an opening act for Madonna and had appearances on Saturday Night Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, and It’s Showtime at the Apollo. It was at this time that Ya Kid K became credited on Technotronic’s singles as she was actual featured vocalist, though Felly still lip-synched the backing vocals in the video for «Get Up! (Before The Night Is Over)», a follow-up single which was a No. 7 hit in the US and a No. 2 hit in the UK.

The third UK Top 40 was «This Beat Is Technotronic» (US Dance No. 3, UK No. 14) and featuring MC Eric instead of Ya Kid K; though she was again the featured vocalist on fourth UK hit «Rockin’ Over The Beat» (UK No. 9). This song also reached the Top 10 in many countries,

In September 1990, The Brothers Organisation reissued the Hi-Tek 3 single in conjunction with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film which was coming out in cinemas in the United Kingdom in November 1990^[4] (it had been released into movie theaters in the States, a few months before that). Now called «Spin That Wheel (Turtles Get Real)» with altered lyrics that took out references to drug use, the song reached number 15 in the UK chart,^[2]^[1] and can be found on the album Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

A megamix was released compiling many of Technotronic’s previous hits. Released as a single, it peaked at No. 6 in the UK^[3] and No. 1 on the Eurochart Hot 100. The Megamix single also appeared on the remix album Trip on This: The Remixes, released in late 1990 by ARS and licensed to Telstar in the UK and SBK in the United States. Trip on This featured remixes of all the singles from Pump Up the Jam: The Album, a remix by David Morales of «Spin That Wheel», and the new song «Turn It Up» featuring vocals by Melissa Bell and «Another Monsterjam» rapper MC Einstein.^[5]

By 1991, Ya Kid K had left Technotronic to pursue a solo career, releasing the single «Awesome (You Are My Hero)» from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze soundtrack in 1991, followed in 1992 by the solo album, One World Nation. Neither was commercially successful.

«Turn It Up» failed to make an impact on the singles charts. Melissa and Einstein were soon replaced in Technotronic by new vocalist Reggie (Réjane Magloire).^[6] Reggie provided vocals to six tracks on 1991’s Body To Body, the group’s second album,^[6] which also featured singer Riv and rapper Colt 45 on two tracks. Several singles were released in Europe, the UK and Australia, including «Move That Body», «Work» and «Money Makes The World Go Round» (featuring Reggie on vocals) during 1991 and 1992.

In 1992, the song «Move This» from Pump Up the Jam: The Album (featuring vocals by Ya Kid K) became popular through its use in a Revlon television commercial, and became the group’s third Top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 6. With renewed interest in the Pump Up The Jam album, it was repackaged for the US market in 1992, retaining the original track listing but this time featuring Ya Kid K’s face on the cover (not Felly’s).

In 1993, a hits album was released, The Greatest Hits. It included the new songs «Hey Yoh Here We Go» and «One + One», both featuring vocals from a returning Ya Kid K, alongside the radio versions of previous hit singles, and entirely new mixes of the tracks «Turn It Up» and «Voices». «Hey Yoh Here We Go» and «One + One» were released as singles in 1993 and 1994 respectively, to moderate success.

Continuing with Ya Kid K as frontwoman, Technotronic released the single «Move It to the Rhythm» in 1994 followed, in 1995, by the album Recall and the further singles «Recall» (featuring Ya Kid K), and «I Want You by My Side». Beside vocal contributions from Kamosi, the album also featured established dance singer Daisy Dee on two tracks, as well as male singer Black Diamond (who featured on the single «I Want You By My Side»).

The remix EP «Pump Up The Jam – The ’96 Sequel» was released in 1996. The same year, Kamosi collaborated with Robert Clivilles (founder of C+C Music Factory) on the track «Shake That Body» for his album Robi Rob’s Club World. The track was released as a single, credited as Robi Rob feat. Ya Kid K. The Technotronic single «Get Up – The ’98 Sequel» as well as compilations This Beat Is Technotronic (Hits & Mixes) and Pump Up The Hits were both released in 1998.

Technotronic later returned in 1999 with new singles «G-Train» and «Like This», featuring male vocalist Monday Midnite. In 2000, Ya Kid K returned as the group’s vocalist once more, releasing the non-album single «The Mariachi» to moderate success. MC Eric and Ya Kid K reunited to tour parts of Europe, South America and Australia, performing their classic hits as well as new material as a part of tour commemorating Technotronic’s 20th anniversary. MC Eric also tours as a DJ.

The compilation album Greatest Remix Hits was released in 2006, including mixes of their most notable hits plus a DVD of their music videos.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

«Tragic flaw» redirects here. For the wider concept, see Tragedy.

The term hamartia derives from the Greek ἁμαρτία, from ἁμαρτάνειν hamartánein, which means «to miss the mark» or «to err».^[1]^[2] It is most often associated with Greek tragedy, although it is also used in Christian theology.^[3] The term is often said to depict the flaws or defects of a character and portraying these as the reason of a potential downfall.^[4]^[5] However, other critics point to the term’s derivation and say that it refers only to a tragic but random accident or mistake, with devastating consequences but with no judgment implied as to the character.

Definition[edit]

Hamartia as it pertains to dramatic literature was first used by Aristotle in his Poetics. In tragedy, hamartia is commonly understood to refer to the protagonist’s error that leads to a chain of actions which culminate in a reversal of events from felicity to disaster.

What qualifies as the error or flaw varies, and can include an error resulting from ignorance, an error of judgment, an inherent flaw in the character, or a wrongdoing. The spectrum of meanings has invited debate among critics and scholars and different interpretations among dramatists.

In Aristotle’s Poetics[edit]

A list of the six parts of Aristotle’s Greek tragedy

«Aristotle’s Tragic Plot Structure»—click to view a larger version

Hamartia is first described in the subject of literary criticism by Aristotle in his Poetics. The source of hamartia is at the juncture between character and the character’s actions or behaviors as described by Aristotle.

Character in a play is that which reveals the moral purpose of the agents, i.e. the sort of thing they seek or avoid.^[6]

In his introduction to the S. H. Butcher translation of Poetics, Francis Fergusson describes hamartia as the inner quality that initiates, as in Dante’s words, a «movement of spirit» within the protagonist to commit actions which drive the plot towards its tragic end, inspiring in the audience a build of pity and fear that leads to a purgation of those emotions, or catharsis.^[7]^[8]

Jules Brody, however, argues that «it is the height of irony that the idea of the tragic flaw should have had its origin in the Aristotelian notion of hamartia. Whatever this problematic word may be taken to mean, it has nothing to do with such ideas as fault, vice, guilt, moral deficiency, or the like. Hamartia is a morally neutral non-normative term, derived from the verb hamartano, meaning ‘to miss the mark’, ‘to fall short of an objective’. And by extension: to reach one destination rather than the intended one; to make a mistake, not in the sense of a moral failure, but in the nonjudgmental sense of taking one thing for another, taking something for its opposite. Hamartia may betoken an error of discernment due to ignorance, to the lack of an essential piece of information. Finally, hamartia may be viewed simply as an act which, for whatever reason, ends in failure rather than success.»^[9]

In a Greek tragedy, for a story to be «of adequate magnitude» it involves characters of high rank, prestige, or good fortune. If the protagonist is too worthy of esteem, or too wicked, his/her change of fortune will not evoke the ideal proportion of pity and fear necessary for catharsis. Here Aristotle describes hamartia as the quality of a tragic hero that generates that optimal balance.

…the character between these two extremes – that of a man who is not eminently good and just, yet whose misfortune is brought about not by vice or depravity, but by some error or frailty.^[6]

In Christian theology[edit]

Hamartia is also used in Christian theology because of its use in the Septuagint and New Testament. The Hebrew (chatá) and its Greek equivalent (àµaρtίa/hamartia) both mean «missing the mark» or «off the mark».^[10]^[11]^[12]

There are four basic usages for hamartia:

Hamartia is sometimes used to mean acts of sin «by omission or commission in thought and feeling or in speech and actions» as in Romans 5:12, «all have sinned».^[13]
Hamartia is sometimes applied to the fall of man from original righteousness that resulted in humanity’s innate propensity for sin, that is original sin.^[3]^[14] For example, as in Romans 3:9, everyone is «under the power of sin».^[15]
A third application concerns the «weakness of the flesh» and the free will to resist sinful acts. «The original inclination to sin in mankind comes from the weakness of the flesh.»^[16]
Hamartia is sometimes «personified».^[17] For example, Romans 6:20 speaks of being enslaved to hamartia (sin).

Tragic flaw, tragic error, and divine intervention[edit]

Aristotle mentions hamartia in Poetics. He argues that it is a powerful device to have a story begin with a rich and powerful hero, neither exceptionally virtuous nor villainous, who then falls into misfortune by a mistake or error (hamartia). Discussion among scholars centers mainly on the degree to which hamartia is defined as tragic flaw or tragic error.

Critical argument for flaw[edit]

Poetic justice describes an obligation of the dramatic poet, along with philosophers and priests, to see that their work promotes moral behavior.^[18] 18th-century French dramatic style honored that obligation with the use of hamartia as a vice to be punished^[18]^[19] Phèdre, Racine’s adaptation of Euripides’ Hippolytus, is an example of French Neoclassical use of hamartia as a means of punishing vice.^[20]^[21] Jean Racine says in his Preface to Phèdre, as translated by R.C. Knight:

The failings of love are treated as real failings. The passions are offered to view only to show all the ravage they create. And vice is everywhere painted in such hues, that its hideous face may be recognized and loathed.^[22]

The play is a tragic story about a royal family. The main characters’ respective vices—rage, lust and envy—lead them to their tragic downfall.^[23]

Critical argument for error[edit]

In her 1963 Modern Language Review article, The Tragic Flaw: Is it a Tragic Error?, Isabel Hyde traces the twentieth-century history of hamartia as tragic flaw, which she argues is an incorrect interpretation. Hyde draws upon the language in Butcher’s interpretation of Poetics regarding hamartia as both error and «defect in character». Hyde points out a footnote in which Butcher qualifies his second definition by saying it is not a «natural» expression to describe a flaw in behavior.^[24] Hyde calls upon another description from A.C. Bradley’s Shakespearean Tragedy of 1904 which she contends is misleading:

…the comparatively innocent hero still shows some marked imperfection or defect, irresolution, precipitancy, pride, credulousness, excessive simplicity, excessive susceptibility to sexual emotion and the like…his weakness or defect is so intertwined with everything that is admirable in him…^[25]

Hyde goes on to elucidate interpretive pitfalls of treating hamartia as tragic flaw by tracing the tragic flaw argument through several examples from well-known tragedies including Hamlet and Oedipus Rex.

Hyde observes that students often state «thinking too much» as Hamlet’s tragic flaw upon which his death in the story depends. That idea does not, however, offer explanation for the moments when Hamlet does act impulsively and violently. It also embarks down a trail of logic that suggests he ought to have murdered Claudius right away to avoid tragedy, which Hyde asserts is problematic.

In Oedipus Rex, she observes that the ideas of Oedipus’ hasty behavior at the crossroads or his trust in his intellect as being the qualities upon which the change of fortune relies is incomplete. Instead, to focus on his ignorance of the true identity of his parents as the foundation of his downfall takes into account all of his decisions that lead to the tragic end. Rather than a flaw in character, error, in Oedipus’ case based upon lack of information, is the more complete interpretation.

In his 1978 Classical World article Hamartia, Atë, and Oedipus, Leon Golden compares scholarship that examines where to place hamartia’s definition along a spectrum connecting the moral, flaw, and the intellectual, error. His goal is to revisit the role, if any, Atë, or divine intervention, plays in hamartia. The Butcher translation of «Poetics» references hamartia as both a «single great error», and «a single great defect in character», prompting critics to raise arguments.

Mid-twentieth-century scholar Phillip W. Harsh sees hamartia as tragic flaw, observing that Oedipus assumes some moral ownership of his demise when he reacts excessively with rage and murder to the encounter at the crossroads.^[26] Van Braam, on the other hand, notes of Oedipus’ hamartia, «no specific sin attaching to him as an individual, but the universally human one of blindly following the light of one’s own intellect.»^[27] He adds that a defining feature of tragedy is that the sufferer must be the agent of his own suffering by no conscious moral failing on his part in order to create a tragic irony.

O. Hey’s observations fall into this camp as well. He notes that the term refers to an action that is carried out in good moral faith by the protagonist, but as he has been deprived of key pieces of information, the action brings disastrous results.^[28] J.M. Bremer also conducted a thorough study of hamartia in Greek thought, focusing on its usage in Aristotle and Homer. His findings lead him, like Hyde, to cite hamartia as an intellectual error rather than a moral failing.^[29]

Critical arguments on divine intervention[edit]

J.M. Bremer and Dawe both conclude that the will of the gods may factor into Aristotelian hamartia. Golden disagrees.^[26] Bremer observes that the Messenger in Oedipus Rex says, «He was raging — one of the dark powers pointing the way, …someone, something leading him on — he hurled at the twin doors and bending the bolts back out of their sockets, crashed through the chamber,».^[30] Bremer cites Sophocles’ mention of Oedipus being possessed by «dark powers» as evidence of guidance from either divine or daemonic force.

Dawe’s argument centers around tragic dramatists’ four areas from which a protagonist’s demise can originate. The first is fate, the second is wrath of an angry god, the third comes from a human enemy, and the last is the protagonist’s frailty or error. Dawe contends that the tragic dénouement can be the result of a divine plan as long as plot action begets plot action in accordance with Aristotle.

Golden cites Van Braam’s notion of Oedipus committing a tragic error by trusting his own intellect in spite of Tiresias’ warning as the argument for human error over divine manipulation. Golden concludes that hamartia principally refers to a matter of intellect, although it may include elements of morality. What his study asserts is separate from hamartia, in a view that conflicts with Dawe’s and Bremer’s, is the concept of divine retribution.^[26]

Источник

Tragic Mistake is a TV-Tropes popularized scenario in which the hero/heroine caused a disastrous event through one or more poor decision(s) which costed her, her allies, as well as innocent lives greatly, more than often with tragic consequences.

The literary term for this is «hamartia», an old Greek term from Aristotle’s Poetics (and an admittedly vaguely-defined one—it can also be interpreted as a fatal flaw).

Even heroes make mistakes and had one or more part in certain accidents, but certain mistakes best to avoid at all costs. Unfortunately, due to the hero/heroine’s own flaws, pressure from the others, or both, he/she wind up make a poor decision that becomes the catalyst of a disastrous event that brings the huge impact on their life that made them more miserable than ever ranging from the hero/heroine’s tragic downfall to the chain of cataclysms.

While the damage from one’s tragic mistake cannot be fully undone, it is not without positive notes. This scenario serves as the crucial part of a hero/heroine’s character development as much as the story he/she featured in, albeit one in which he/she entered the point of no return to live his/her life like how it used to be before making such mistake.

Examples

Literature

Harry Potter:
- Harry Potter: Harry refuses to be taught Occlumency by Severus Snape because of their personal feud which, to his horror, stemmed from his late father James Potter’s enmity towards Snape long before his eventual change of heart due to his love for Lily. This makes him open to Voldemort’s Legilimency attack in form of a false vision of Sirius held captive so that Harry could run to his rescue. This results in the all-out fight that ends with Sirius’ death since in his impulsiveness Harry also neglected a device which would have allowed him to communicate to Sirius immediately and verify that he’s fine.
- Severus Snape: Snape ruined his friendship (and any chance for romance he might have had) with Lily when he chose to become a zealous Death Eater under Voldemort’s command. To make matters worse, he later relayed a prophecy to Voldemort about the child that would eventually defeat the Dark Lord. This causes Voldemort to target Lily’s son, subsequently resulting in the murder of her and James. Snape deeply regrets this mistake that caused the death of the woman he loved, and spends the rest of his life trying to make up for it by protecting Harry.
  - Despite of him willingly take the duty to become Harry’s unlikely protector to redeem the aforementioned tragic mistake, Snape’s inability to let go of the grudge towards James mainly because Harry and his father not so different in many ways made it rather difficult and only worsen after both failed attempt to teach the Chosen One Occulumency skill and seemingly murdered Dumbledore in cold blood (in reality, the murder was a mercy kill as Dumbledore was already dying from the curse of one of the Horcruxes, and it was also a plan to ensure that Voldemort would trust Snape completely).
- Professor Albus Dumbledore: Albus Dumbledore’s status as the seemingly flawless, benevolent, and revered figure both in Hogwarts and the rest of Wizarding World revealed to be stemmed from the fact that he used to be tempted to participate in Grindelwald’s plot against Muggle world and lust of power as much as Grindelwald and later, Voldemort did. This soon resulted to the two’s confrontation with his brother Abeforth that culminated to Ariana’s tragic demise.
- Sirius Black: He let Wormtail be the secret keeper to protect Potters, only for Wormtail betrayed them and brutally massacred innocent muggles, framing all the crimes to him, which resulted in Sirius being sent to Azkaban until he uses his Animagus powers to escape.
  - Another mistake is that Sirius mistreated his house-elf Kreacher, resulting in the house-elf betraying him by lying to Harry that Sirius was captured by Voldemort. This made Harry think that the visions the Dark Lord had been showing him of Sirius being tortured are real, which leads Harry to attempt to rescue Sirius, only to fall into a trap. Subsequently, this results in Sirius’ death at the at hands of Bellatrix when he goes to rescue his godson from the Death Eaters.
- Horace Slughorn: Horace shared everything he knows about Horcrux to Tom Riddle (Voldemort) in the past, unaware that he would use such knowledge to become an immortal and immensely powerful Dark Lord. With this information, Voldemort commits killing spree and framings to shatter him soul and create 7 Horcruxes of his own, resulting in the death of his beloved student Lily. He would finally achieve redemption and closure years later, through sharing the repressed memory pertaining his tragic mistake to Harry and Dumbledore and with it, the means to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
- Percy Weasley: Percy’s blind devotion to Ministry of Magic made him disown his family and refusing to believe Harry Potter regarding Voldemort’s return, going so far supporting Fudge’s smear campaign against Harry and Dumbledore and decision to write Cedric’s death as mere accident. It took the downfall of the Ministry for him to see his errors but, by the time he reconciled with them, Fred was among the fallen and this motivates him to aid his family in Battle of Hogwarts.

Comic Books

Spider-Man: Peter arrogantly refused to stop for five seconds to stop a crook stealing the wrestling manager’s money rushing past him, telling the cop chasing the guy it was never his job (along with the fact that the manager had cheated him out of the prize money just before the robber showed up), his life was changed forever; the same crook would later murder his uncle, Ben Parker. While that mistake defined what he is, the lesson was learned in the harshest way possible.
- Spider-Man (Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man film trilogy): Tobey Maguire’ iteration of the character made a similar mistake, but what made it more poignant than his comic book’s case was he lied to Ben Parker that he would go to the city’s library to keep the latter in the dark about his plan to participate in the wrestling so as to gain some quick cash to impress Mary Jane with his own fancy car. Regardless, the consequence remains same.

Live-Action

Star Wars:
- Anakin Skywalker: He had made many mistakes prior to this point, but what pushed him irrevocably over to the dark side of the Force was his decision to save Darth Sidious instead of letting Mace Windu execute him, leading directly to Mace Windu’s murder and leaving him no chance to go back as well as the downfall of the Jedi Order, including Order 66.
  - Another point of no return for Anakin is when he impulsively (and unnecessarily) refuses to see Padmé Amidala and angrily Force-choke his own wife in response of discovering Obi-Wan stowed into her ship before dueling with the latter, ending with him having his three remaining limbs chopped off and getting burned very badly by lava. The old Anakin might have been able to find a way to save his wife from dying in her childbirth, but after waking up in the black suit, he realizes that his own fears ends up murdering her.
- Luke Skywalker: Sensing the darkness within his nephew, Ben Solo, Luke considered for a brief moment to kill him in his sleep out of fear that Ben would destroy everything that he as a Jedi Master ever loved and fought to construct. He regrets almost immediately after activating his lightsaber, but it is too late because Ben wakes up and sees his uncle with his weapon ignited above his head.

Literature

Harry Potter:
- Harry Potter: Harry refuses to be taught Occlumency by Severus Snape because of their personal feud which, to his horror, stemmed from his late father James Potter’s enmity towards Snape long before his eventual change of heart due to his love for Lily. This makes him open to Voldemort’s Legilimency attack in form of a false vision of Sirius held captive so that Harry could run to his rescue. This results in the all-out fight that ends with Sirius’ death since in his impulsiveness Harry also neglected a device which would have allowed him to communicate to Sirius immediately and verify that he’s fine.
- Severus Snape: Snape ruined his friendship (and any chance for romance he might have had) with Lily when he chose to become a zealous Death Eater under Voldemort’s command. To make matters worse, he later relayed a prophecy to Voldemort about the child that would eventually defeat the Dark Lord. This causes Voldemort to target Lily’s son, subsequently resulting in the murder of her and James. Snape deeply regrets this mistake that caused the death of the woman he loved, and spends the rest of his life trying to make up for it by protecting Harry.
  - Despite of him willingly take the duty to become Harry’s unlikely protector to redeem the aforementioned tragic mistake, Snape’s inability to let go of the grudge towards James mainly because Harry and his father not so different in many ways made it rather difficult and only worsen after both failed attempt to teach the Chosen One Occulumency skill and seemingly murdered Dumbledore in cold blood (in reality, the murder was a mercy kill as Dumbledore was already dying from the curse of one of the Horcruxes, and it was also a plan to ensure that Voldemort would trust Snape completely).
- Professor Albus Dumbledore: Albus Dumbledore’s status as the seemingly flawless, benevolent, and revered figure both in Hogwarts and the rest of Wizarding World revealed to be stemmed from the fact that he used to be tempted to participate in Grindelwald’s plot against Muggle world and lust of power as much as Grindelwald and later, Voldemort did. This soon resulted to the two’s confrontation with his brother Abeforth that culminated to Ariana’s tragic demise.
- Sirius Black: He let Wormtail be the secret keeper to protect Potters, only for Wormtail betrayed them and brutally massacred innocent muggles, framing all the crimes to him, which resulted in Sirius being sent to Azkaban until he uses his Animagus powers to escape.
  - Another mistake is that Sirius mistreated his house-elf Kreacher, resulting in the house-elf betraying him by lying to Harry that Sirius was captured by Voldemort. This made Harry think that the visions the Dark Lord had been showing him of Sirius being tortured are real, which leads Harry to attempt to rescue Sirius, only to fall into a trap. Subsequently, this results in Sirius’ death at the at hands of Bellatrix when he goes to rescue his godson from the Death Eaters.
- Horace Slughorn: Horace shared everything he knows about Horcrux to Tom Riddle (Voldemort) in the past, unaware that he would use such knowledge to become an immortal and immensely powerful Dark Lord. With this information, Voldemort commits killing spree and framings to shatter him soul and create 7 Horcruxes of his own, resulting in the death of his beloved student Lily. He would finally achieve redemption and closure years later, through sharing the repressed memory pertaining his tragic mistake to Harry and Dumbledore and with it, the means to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
- Percy Weasley: Percy’s blind devotion to Ministry of Magic made him disown his family and refusing to believe Harry Potter regarding Voldemort’s return, going so far supporting Fudge’s smear campaign against Harry and Dumbledore and decision to write Cedric’s death as mere accident. It took the downfall of the Ministry for him to see his errors but, by the time he reconciled with them, Fred was among the fallen and this motivates him to aid his family in Battle of Hogwarts.

- Spider-Man (Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man film trilogy): Tobey Maguire’ iteration of the character made a similar mistake, but what made it more poignant than his comic book’s case was he lied to Ben Parker that he would go to the city’s library to keep the latter in the dark about his plan to participate in the wrestling so as to gain some quick cash to impress Mary Jane with his own fancy car. Regardless, the consequence remains same.
