Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Don
All tragedies are finished by a death,All comedies are ended by a marriage;The future states of both are left to faith,For authors fear description might disparageThe worlds to come of both. . . .
Summary
This quote suggests that in tragedy, death acts as the final resolution, while in comedy, a marriage is the concluding event. The futures of these characters are left to fate because authors are hesitant to describe what may come next, as it might diminish the potential of the future worlds created. It implies that writers avoid predicting or defining the unknown paths that lie ahead for their characters, leaving it up to the imagination and speculation of the readers or audience.
