It All Begins Tonight (Poetics Applied to West Side Story) Jean Racine said it best, “A tragedy need not have blood and death; it 's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.” In other words, tragedy is merely a compilation of several elements which play on our deepest and most intimate emotions.
