There's something about Tragedy

I have been meaning to say this out loud for ages now! I gravely need to speak it out loud, I can’t keep it within myself anymore, and I seriously can’t!

I have always loved watching and reading new shows and novels with parts and seasons and I can’t ignore the fact, that they leave me in such a beautiful state of banging my head against the wall and then of course die!

We all watch series of TV shows of different genres, or read serried novels, and I think who do really watch or read them want to yelp right now the thing I have been meaning to say through this post. I feel you people!

I know how you all feel, how you all started watching/reading the series everyone started to talk about, how you wasted hours to download the seasons or how much engrossed you got while reading the first part of that book, how you all got attached to the characters, how eagerly you all waited for everything to end well, and how all your expectations were finally shattered by the writer!

Dear writers of the shows and novels,
What do you guys want? Do you think we are callous, cold, or just a skeleton? Do you know how much it hurts when you kill our favorite characters? You people don’t even have a cent of idea how much we cry our hearts out! We, the audience, get emotionally involved to the character while reading or watching. The character becomes a part of us, we start relating the story to our life!

Not only this, why, just why do you leave the chapter or the season on such an appalling point? You leave us lynching! Not only we get frazzled about what is going to happen next, we cry over the fact that we will have to linger on for months to actually know what is going to happen next! And sometimes the worst happens; sometimes you declare that there will be no sequel!

And then we wait for the sequel, the sequel brings our strength back. We feel that maybe this time, it will finally all end in a perfect manner, and we again get that little light of hope (Asha-ki-Kiran). But then again, you kill not only that character in the book, but also US! You kill us.

It’s like a writer’s thing to kill our favorite character, reveal some little secret which baffles our mind, change the whole personality of a character (like turning the alien Sheldon who doesn’t even like to get touched into a pure gentleman who has feelings and who can love!).

What do you want?

Thanks for killing anyone anytime, ruining the best by introducing a new conspiracy, or something of such sort. You break us, mentally, emotionally and physically!

“The curtain opens
The story starts
He catches my eye
And my heart.

There is humor
Sensation and drama
I get jimjams
As we reach the climax.

I pray of contentment
I pray for a perfect end
The light of hope
Has went away.

I don’t know how to feel
I don’t know how to react
He has been killed
I too am dead.”
