Tragedy is like when you’re building a tall tower with your favorite blocks, and just when it’s almost done, it falls over. You feel really sad because you worked so hard, and now it’s all gone. It’s not just about losing the blocks, but also the feeling that all your effort was for nothing.
Imagine you’re watching a movie where the hero tries really hard to save the day, but something goes wrong, and they can’t. Even though they tried their best, things didn’t turn out the way they hoped. Tragedy is about that feeling of disappointment and loss when things don’t go as planned.
Think of a story where a character has a big dream, like flying to the moon. They try and try, but never make it. It’s like when you want something really bad, but no matter how much you try, it just doesn’t happen. This makes you feel a deep sadness inside, because the dream seems so far away. Tragedy is about these moments when things don’t go the way we wish, and it makes our hearts feel heavy.
