- There's a design at work in all art - surely you know that? Events must play themselves out to aesthetic, moral and logical conclusion.
- And what's that, in this case?
- It never varies - we aim at the point where everyone who is marked for death dies.
- Marked?
- Between "just desserts" and "tragic irony" we are given quite a lot of scope for our particular talent. Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go when things have got about as bad as they reasonably get.
- Who decides?
- Decides? It is written. Now if you're going to be subtle, we'll miss each other in the dark. I'm referring to oral tradition. So to speak. We're tragedians, you see. We follow directions-there is no choice involved. The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what tragedy means.
