MSCL as Shakespearian tragedy
Posted: Jun 27th 2000, 2:13 am
I recently watched Episode 16 and it crystalized how MSCL
is following the tradition of Shakespearian tragedy.
First --- The story lays out very clearly how the tragic
paths are pre-determined by the mind-sets of the characters.
MSCL involves a complex web of inter-relationships such that
there are tragic consequences for each character.
Brian's love for Angela is as "star-crossed" as any love
could possibly be ---- In fact --- There are two tragic
stories told here as opposed to the single story traditionally
told in Shakespear.
Any thoughts?
