tragically (sp?) speaking


1) (the scholarly response) read aristotle- Poetics- do you feel it fits.

2) (the not so scholarly response)-nearly everyone dies at the end. ie, tragedy is not averted. a comedy is a comedy b/c the outcome is realitvely happy, and people usually get married- not b/c it is funny. see the correlation??????

3) why are you asking this anyway??
