| But when the tragic incident occurs between those who are near or dear to one another--if, for example, a brother kills, or intends to kill, a brother, a son his father, a mother her son, a son his mother, or any other deed of the kind is done---these are the situations to be looked for by the poet. General events involuntarily group themselves around some particular incident. But this simple incident for some reason struck everyone as strange. |
