2. Is tragedy necessary for art?

On this episode: does tragedy make art, what exactly is tragedy and are some people more attuned to their tragedies than others?

Notes:

1. Resilience factors

Resilience factors are aspects of your life that help you adapt to adversity. These include: social connections, self-esteem, optimism, positive family relationships and a sense of community.

2. Tragic comedies

Tragic comedies are literary works that combine both tragedy and comedy. Think Bojack Horseman. I classified Dante's Inferno under this which is actually incorrect. Dante's journey through hell is a Divine Comedy. Comedy in this sense denoting the opposite of tragedy.
