The most abhorrent element of her argument is her total failure to understand what a tragedy is. It makes me throw up in my mouth.

Prager University is a hive of bitter right wing cranks pretending to be academics.

It is very hard to take an appeal to classicism seriously when someone believes that tragedy is stuff she doesn't like happening.

Hubris causing the necessary radical transformation of the position of the lead character, typically through a fall rather than a rise, usually involving death. Typically the high necessarily brought low by their own hubris to the point of their death or a catastrophic loss of status. In modernism you get low tragedy which involves the low brought to a state of existential angst or absurdity (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead, Waiting for Godot), or Brechtian anti-tragedies where the catharsis is suspended into an action required from the audience.

Perfect transvestite melocomedy, nationalist histories, some of the few great tragedies of the human race. Witty cunt. Master of sex lines. Awesome characterisation. Five act plays aimed at student lawyers who were /r9k/esque in their inability to marry so full of marriage fantasies and dirty jokes. Did I mention that he actually wrote a series of competent tragedies? Pretty much the first ones since the Greeks, and the last one before the theatre of the absurd?
