The Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst. ... Why do human beings behave as they do? We are capable of savage acts of violence but also spectacular feats of kindness: is one side of our nature destined to win out over the other?

"Историята на Фауст често се нарича трагическа. Драмата на Марлоу е озаглавена точно така: "Трагическата история на живота и смъртта на доктор Фауст". Но ако вземем предвид изискванията на Аристотел, които присъстват и в съвременното усещане за трагично, произведението на Марлоу не е трагедия, а поучителна история за греховния живот и заслужената вечна смърт на един порочен човек. Но това не е трагично - нито Аристотел би мислил така, нито ние. Трагизъм има тогава, когато някой не лош, а по-скоро даровит и енергичен човек пострада заради някакво сериозно заблуждение; както пострадва Креон в Антигона ... |
