OH the TRAGEDY!

I recently had a revelation that nearly ever major tragedy in literature (or plays/movies) is a direct result of lack of, or mis-, information.  How many times do we get the omniscient "god" view, only to have the despair of knowing that if this character had only told this other character that one crucial bit of info there could have been a happy ending?  THAT, my friends, is the essence of tragedy.

Moral of this story: TALK TO PEOPLE.  And be honest.

"Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie."
