    grow and flourish. The needed structure and form allows the focal point of the piece to be listened to. In Antigone, Sophocles exercises "the soul of a tragedy"(Aristotle IV), plot, by seductively piecing events in an appealing way, chronologically.

    While reading the plot of Oedipus the King and learning of Oedipus causing the death of both of his parents, you would consider that a pretty tragic event. But, if you ask Aristotle he may not fully agree with you. In Poetics, Aristotle goes into detail on what creates a true tragedy and what does not. In many ways, the work of literature, Oedipus the King, written by Sophocles is a good tragedy, but there are just a few things that limit it from being a complete tragic work.

Instead I will discuss the connections between detectives and the setting. In the beginning of the movie, we were introduced

    The series will go to great lengths in discovering the emotional truths of being a twenty something out of college and trying to survive in Singapore.

Everyone in in the show is very much human and the drama arises from every day dealings as they try to cope with finding themselves. The only comedy that arises from the show's situations is human comedy, not obvious comedy
