From a review of Oedipus el Rey

The best thing about tragedy is that we are already promised a bleak ending; it gives you a sense of resolute dignity, when all you have to do, is focus on the how and the why. It’s like examining a history full of violence and war, not because we want to change what had happened, but to figure out what not to do next time something similar comes around.
