Κάθαρσις

My room does look quasi-mystical these days.

Brecht often omitted this resolving action in his plays to force his bough-ie audience into dealing with certain concepts outside the theater, much like the effect Fassbinder strove for with his revolutionary cinema. I am given pause then to wonder why the playwright of my tragedy is so pedestrian.
A possible solution that doesnt involve me being the protagonist of a badly written tragedy, is a that according to wikipedia, catharsis predates tragedy:

Catharsis before the sixth-century rise of tragedy is, for us, essentially a historical footnote to the Aristotelian conception. The practice of purification did not yet appear in Homer, as later Greek commentators noted:[4] the Aithiopis, an epic in the Trojan War cycle, narrates the purification of Achilles after his murder of Thersites. Catharsis describes the result of means taken to cleanse away blood-guilt—"blood is purified through blood" (Burkert 1992:56) a process in the development of Hellenic culture in which the oracle of Delphi took a prominent role. The classic example, of Orestes, belongs to tragedy, but the procedure given by Aeschylus is ancent: the blood of a sacrificed piglet is allowed to wash over the blood-polluted man, and running water washes away the blood.[5] The identical ritual is represented, Burkert informs us (1992:57) on a krater found at Canicattini, to cure the daughters of Proetus of their madness, caused by some ritual transgression. To the question of whether the ritual procures atonement or just healing, Burkert answers: "To raise the question is to see the irrelevance of this distinction" (1992:57). The Greek nosos embraces both physical sickness and social ills.


This excerpt came as quite a shock to me, especially concerning my recent interest in Santeria. The Brujah I saw last year did not recommend blood rituals, but perhaps she should have.
