Society mends its wounds. And that's invariably true in all the tragedies, in the comedies as well. And certainly in the histories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
The constituents of tragedy may be universally acknowledged, easily invoked and deeply felt, but the elements of comedy are, I think, more widely variable from person to person.
I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
The basis of tragedy is man's helplessness against disease, war and death; the basis of comedy is man's helplessness against vanity (the vanity of love, greed, lust, power).
Most comedy comes out of misery.
Comedy is tragedy - plus time.
The older I've gotten, the more the need to exert comedy no matter how tragic a character I may be portraying because they are essentials for presenting truth.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
