“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”
“I have changed my definition of tragedy. I now think tragedy is not foul deeds done to a person (usually noble in some manner) but rather that tragedy is irresolvable conflict. Both sides/ideas are right.”
“The legacy of modernity is a legacy of fratricidal wars, devastating "development," cruel "civilization," and previously unimagined violence. Erich Auerbach once wrote that tragedy is the only genre that can properly claim realism in Western literature, and perhaps this is true precisely because of the tragedy Western modernity has imposed on the world.”
“The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.”
“The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.”

Una tragedia es un género de drama basado en el sufrimiento humano, específicamente mediante eventos terribles o dolorosos que afectan a un personaje principal o a un elenco de personajes. Tradicionalmente, la intención de la tragedia es invocar una catarsis acompañante, o un "dolor [que] despierta placer", para el público. Aunque muchas culturas han desarrollado formas que provocan esta respuesta paradójica, el término tragedia a menudo se refiere a una tradición específica de drama que ha desempeñado un papel único e importante históricamente en la autodefinición de la civilización occidental. Esa tradición ha sido múltiple y discontinua, sin embargo el término se ha usado a menudo para invocar un poderoso efecto de identidad cultural y continuidad histórica—"los griegos y los isabelinos, en una forma cultural; helenos y cristianos, en una actividad común", como lo expresa Raymond Williams.
