Any tragedy brings suffering and death, but the audience is moving, but not depressing.
The audience does not leave the theatre in a gloomy frame of mind, but with a feeling of uplift or even joy.
Nobody has managed to explain the phenomenon to a T.
Many theories have been introduced, but the most important ideas more satisfactoraly explaining this fact are the following three:
1. the idea of catharsis
2. the idea of seriousness
3. the idea of human dignity
читать дальшеCatharsis. It`s a greek word meaning "purging or cleansing".
The idea of catharsis goes back to the Greek philosopher Aristotel. He said that tragedy aroused and drove from the audience feelings of pity, so that by the end they felt relieved.
Catharsis is the act of being relieved or purged of those feelings. It`s the release of emotions caused in the audience by the fate of the tragic hero.
Tragedy is great 'cause it reminds the audience that life is very serious and earnest, that it`s very deep and all things matter in it. Life is vast and wonderful, and human relations are both wonderful and very complicated. Tragedy reminds the audience that people can be dignified and noble. It`s not always easy to remember this in every-day life: wars, starvation, etc suggest that human life is cheap.
Very often people feel small and anonymous like cogs in a machine. But in tragedy we see heroism, nobility, courage, pations, love.
And we see that in spite of all evil, all flows and appalling suffering, good and love, nobility ad courage take the upper hand. Any tragedy is always a struggle between goodand evil. Shakespeare said of Othelo: "Great of heart"
These words can be applied to almost all the tragic heroes.Это я к чему.
Катарсиса давно не случалось а очень хочется.
Я нашла дома "Женщины на грани нервного срыва" Альмодовара.
Надеюсь на эффект "Фриды" и "Возвращения"
