Sarah Cook Tragedy- Audience For a story to have a tragedy, the author must be able to get the reader interested. Having a tragedy can be risky for an author because it can either be a strength or weakness. The audience would want what goes on in the story to be realistic for the reader to feel sympathy for the characters. Having a strong tragedy story can benefit the author because some audiences feel for good tragedy stories. Tragedy triggers a feeling of pity in the audience, either causing them to get into the story, or to dislike the it. Famous tragedy stories like Romeo and Juliet are so famous because people felt for what was happening to the characters. The audience cares for the characters and wants them to end up alright. What makes the audience even more interested is that the characters don’t end up alight. The audience then feels sympathy for the characters.
