Summary

This quote, by an anonymous author, presents a humorous twist on the concept of a "tragic end." It suggests that Phoebus de Chateaupers' downfall or tragic fate was not due to death or misfortune but rather, ironically, because he got married. By juxtaposing the traditional notion of tragedy with the act of marriage, the quote offers a satirical view on the challenges and complications that can arise in married life, perhaps implying that marriage can in itself be seen as a form of tragedy.
