Document Summary
By saying that no good play write can be good unless they can write both a comedy and tragedy, it eludes to love itself in that requires people to be in love through both the good and the bad. A tragic play ends in a tragedy and a marriage ends in a death. Does a funeral show more love than a wedding (everyone is showing love towards the loved one, not just the bride and the groom) Every funeral prefigures a funeral because you are expecting this to end only be death. Love is more than just a happy expression but an expectation that there will be tragedy along the way of your love story. Aristophanes says that zeus splits the original human in half and the goal of life is to find your other half that you have lost. Zeus cut us in half because they were too strong and were crawling all over the place.
