Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays and Studies, Vol. 8
Hegel's object is, therefore, to justify Tragedy; and he finds V the explanation in the character of the tragic hero himself. I He is responsible for his own fate. By some guilty act, some fault of judgement, or some defect in his nature, he sets in motion the events which prove at last to be the cause of his own undoing. He cannot blame fate; he cannot blame anything but himself. In his final fall the principle of justice is vindicated. By putting the Individual in the wrong, we put the Universe in the right.
