I kept imagining these people, just living their daily lives, and then having them suddenly ended in unjust tragedy.

We think God is unjust, rather than a master storyteller.

For me, it is the essence of tragedy.
Bernard-Henri Levy
-
The calamities of tragedy do not simply happen, nor are they sent; they proceed mainly from actions, and those the actions of men.We see a number of human beings placed in certain circumstances; and we see, arising from the co-operation of their characters in these circumstances, certain actions. These actions beget others, and these others beget others again, until this series of inter-connected deeds leads by an apparently inevitable sequence to a catastrophe.
Andrew Cecil Bradley
