Kaplan Speaks on Tragedy...

play whoHe ending is strewn with
corpse*."
The single principle underly
ing the sad ending lies in time
according to Kaplan. He stated
that time implies that some
times human actions are too late
and this Is the effect of tragedy.
In Komeo and Juliet, everything
happens too late. Time is also
irreversable, he stated, "We
reach the point of no return. The
young man realizes that he has
grown old, that he is young no
more. You can’t go home again."
KAPLAN asserted that it is
not merely the sadness of the
ending, however, which consti
tutes tragedy, but the whole sad
ness running through the story.
We see, he said, insanity and I
violent death, moral loss, lost i
ideals, injustice and lust faith.
He said that "Every tragedy
confronts us with the realize- j
lion of the worst of man which j
in the tragic moment is brought j
to the fore."
According to Kaplan, tragedy
presupposes the "existence of
God, gods, fate, or destiny" and
in all tragedy there Is inevita- j
bility “Tragedy comes in a real- ]
izatton that this is that kind of
world where it had to happen
like tills."

was brought up.
For Duck Preview Jan. 28. Sen

at which a regular item of busi

IN f>TIIEK action, Senate con
firmed the appointment of Judy
Babich as ASUO public relations
officer. The post was vacant for
academic reasons.
Schell announced that John
Phillips and George Russill had
decided not to present a motion
commending the University of
Georgia administration for their
temperate handling of the situ
ation caused by the admission of
two Negro students. The
Georgia administration decided
Wednesday at midnight to sus
pend the students "for their own
safety."

necessary professionalism re
quired for public performance
of instrumental small groups.
Why should the intelligence
of our fathers (of ourselves for
that matter) be subjected to the
assault of a series of mundane
exhibitions of an art form which
can only be realized when left
to the true professional talent
of such men as Dave Brubeck,
Shelley Mann and Stan Getz?

FINAULY, let me ask a ques
tion. Why do we always have to
win, be best, have had bad luck
when we lose, and be big time?
Sincerely,

Men, In tragedy, a symbol of the
futility of man's struggle as a
"fly tn a spider webb," but pre
sentation of the dignity and |
worth of man. In contrast to i
Macbeth, he said “L.ife does not
signlly nothing, it signifies man's
dignity." Man, according to Kap
lan, is telling those powers which
control him “ no matter what
. . . I am a man."
Tragedy incorporates the rec
ognition of evil as part of human
existence. He said that it takes
"seriously the myth that man is
both a beast and an angel.”
Without both, he asserted, there
Is no tragedy.
KAPLAN Bald it was signifi
cant that in the times when tra
gedy was at its greatest, the
times of Aeschylus and Sophocles
in Greece and of Shakespeare in
later times, men saw life as
full of possibilities. To have tra
gedy, he said, men must aspire
to greatness, and this possibility
of greatness is as significant as
the possibility of defeat. It shows
that we Rnow the world and the
kind of people we are in it—
and we will go forward in the
best way we can.”
Essential to tragedy, according
to Kaplan, is conflict and the
recognition of the existence of
free will. “The tragedy is that
the fool can do something and
the poor s.o.b. does the wrong
thing.”
ALSO ESSENTIAL to tragedy
is the existence of a "tragic
flaw" in an otherwise great char
acter, Kaplan maintained. He
stated that many tragedies con
sist of self revelation of char
acter to the hero. “The tragedy
is that the hero has a certain
greatness of soul which implies
a measureless capacity for suf
fering. "An ordinary man would
be finished too easily,” he said.
Tins suffering is one of the most
important aspects of tragedy.
