Summary

This quote suggests that tragedy is characterized by the unfortunate endings of both good and bad characters. It implies that bad individuals usually meet their unhappy fate, while even virtuous and well-intentioned individuals may face equivalent misfortune. Tragedy, according to this perspective, portrays a world where good deeds do not necessarily guarantee happiness or protection from tragic outcomes. This interpretation highlights the unpredictable and sometimes cruel nature of life, where both moral and immoral individuals can suffer undesirable consequences.
