"The tragic hero has only one language that is completely proper to him: silence. It has been so from the very beginning. The tragic devised itself the artistic form of drama precisely so as to be able to present silence... In his silence the hero burns the bridges connecting him to god and the world, elevates himself above the realm of personality, which in speech, defines itself, against others and individualizes itself, and so enters the icy loneliness of the self."
