Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in Greek Tragedy Every true tragedy turns on a conflict, whether it be a merely personal rivalry between one man and another, or a conflict on a grander scale, a struggle between opposing principles. Greek tragedy must always be' peculiarly arresting, because the Greek tra gedians combined in a curiously subtle way a conflict of persons with a conflict of principles. They present Situations in which there is a tremendous conflict of personality and at the same time a much vaster conflict of principle. In each case I have devoted myself to analysing this conflict of principle, and I have mostly left to the reader's own insight the estimation of the rival characters.
