Quote by Susanne K. Langer, Feeling and F

Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune

Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillmen

Summary

This quote suggests that tragedy showcases the potential and fulfillment of human life. Tragic stories depict a virtual future or Destiny that is distinct from the Destiny found in comedy. In comedy, Destiny is often linked to chance or Fortune, while tragedy presents a different view. Tragedy explores the inherent nature of human existence, the various paths we can take, and the consequences that arise from our choices. It delves deeper into the complexities of life, offering a more profound reflection on human experiences and the existential struggles we face.
