The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily.

From Tom Stoppard’s movie/play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100519

Wasn’t that the end?

You call that an ending?
With practically everyone still on his feet?
My goodness, no, over your dead body.
There’s a design at work in all art, surely you know that.
Events must play themselves out to an aesthetic, moral and logical conclusion.

What’s that in this case?

It never varies.
We aim for the point where everyone who is marked for death dies.

Marked?

Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go when things have got about as bad as they can reasonably get.

Decides… It is written.
We are tragedians, you see. We follow directions, there is no choice involved.
The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what tragedy means.
