A tragedy what is it, well it's a story that doesn't end well for the hero, the people, or the kingdom. So I'm going to talk about a movie called, "Fury," as an example.
Picture this it is WWII and a guy is put with a tank team of five. This guys named Norman. Norman is the replacement for one of five, though this team has never lost a man to war until now. That why Norman was assigned to the team, oh yeah the tank they man is called Fury by the way, and now I will refer the team as Fury for now on ok. So, Normans first mission, fury is one of the tanks protecting a group of men from a heavy machine gun. Fury's leader, Wardaddy tells Norman to shoot at soldiers on ground even though they are already dead...?
Then Fury enters into a town where Norman meets a nice girl falls in love and then right when leaves her home, its blown up by a mortar. These people were also German and the soldier still blew it up. Norman becomes something different now he show no mercy to the German troops and kills all in his way. So, great he grew a backbone to be as ruthless as his enemy, he's going to need it.
Fury continues on, but hit a mine destroying any chance for the tank to move, but wait theres more. A battalion of German soldiers are coming straight for them. So, what do they do they stay and fight as the battle goes on each member of Fury dies, except Norman, Because he was spared by young German soldier in the end.
Now, you're thinking why use this as an example Kendall, because tragedy doesn't have to end with the main character dying. It can end many different ways, this I think is a tragedy because Norman was something horrifying, he was a soldier without a heart. There is a question with an answer that asks what the best way to defeat my enemy, answer make him your friend. He showed little restraint after the girl died he just said who do I shoot and where. Although, there is another reason why you can say this is a tragedy, it could be because he was alone now his friends are dead he has no one to share with his pain for what he did. No one who truly understood him and trials he had to face.
For the one film with the kid locked in the fridge. I would say that its more of a tragedy that saving the boy life was not at the top of their list to do. The boys being jerks to them it was sad at what brought them laugher that the suffering of other not to a point of death was amusing to them. Also that the man cared more about his drink being finished then phoning the firefighters. The overall tragedy was how little, people cared about the life of the young boy.
That's all I got to say about this so, I'm happy if you agree or not. I'm Kendall Adams. Bye
Oh yeah please comment and critique I dare you, be bold and challenge my ideas.
