Why do we love tragedy so much? The reason is due to, as David E. Rivas describes it,catharsis or the purging of the emotions. These tragedies allow us to expel the emotions, these fears we have repressed, and in essence clean our souls. The catharsis allows a renewing of the psyche and a clean outlook at life, without the repressed emotions in effect. Another reason we indulge in the tragedies is so know what happiness truly is. These tragedies allow you to experience the pain and the evils of life, without you having to physically, emotionally and mentally having to experience them, or having your life be effected permanently from them. The tragedies show you the bad, so you can fully understand what the good in life is actually, and in return experience them more.
Tragedy is used as a guide to show you the worst in life so you can enjoy the best, and a vessel to clense the body from the repressed emotion kept inide. The tragedy is one of the most important tools anyone can use to help allow them to live a better life
