When I say tragedy, I don't mean tragedy as in disaster. I mean it by the definition of Greek Tragedy.
The following definition was taken from this site: was noted in the discussion of the Iliad, the word "tragedy" refers primarily to tragic drama: a literary composition written to be performed by actors in which a central character called a tragic protagonist or hero suffers some serious misfortune which is not accidental and therefore meaningless, but is significant in that the misfortune is logically connected with the hero's actions. Tragedy stresses the vulnerability of human beings whose suffering is brought on by a combination of human and divine actions, but is generally undeserved with regard to its harshness. This genre, however, is not totally pessimistic in its outlook. Although many tragedies end in misery for the characters, there are also tragedies in which a satisfactory solution of the tragic situation is attained."
I find this topic to be of great interest, and I believe that if more writers could incorporate a human aspect into their writing, this site would be much richer in content. It would give people something to think about rather than just gratuitous violence that I see in many of these stories. My goal is to write a good story, to even those who know nothing about the Halo universe. I challenge others to do the same.
