Why does tragedy give pleasure Why do people who are neither wicked nor depraved enjoy watching plays about suffering and death Is it because we see horrific matter controlled by majestic art Or because tragedy actually reaches out to the dark side of human nature Nuttall's wide-ranging, lively, and engaging book offers a new answer to this perennial question. Writers discussed include Aristotle, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, and Freud.
