** In fact, a main reason why the story is tragic is because as the story come closer to the end or even during the climax, some unfamilar characters replace those who we had known in the beginning of the story. It is as if the author is trying to remind the reader that: 1. no matter how much he can fantasise the plot, the history itself is cold and brutal. 2.No one can live forever, and what the future generation can recall of you are your actions and deeds. As audience watch the show come to an end, they realize the only witnesses of the story are themselves.
