Real life drama Quotes

“~Life is a drama, when there is no drama in your life than there will be.~”

“The basis of drama is ... is the struggle of the hero towards a specific goal at the end of which he realizes that what kept him from it was, in the lesser drama, civilization and, in the great drama, the discovery of something that he did not set out to discover but which can be seen retrospectively as inevitable. The example Aristotle uses, of course, is Oedipus.”

At the end of a play the lie is revealed. The better the play the more surprising and inevitable the lie is. Aristotle told us this”
