Summary
‘In the first place it is instructive to ask how a poet could meet the challenge of representing the population of a city on stage; in the second, this exercise is likely to shed light on the political function of Greek tragedy. More specifically it will shed light on the relationship between tragedy and democracy ? a vexed question in recent years ? for no consideration of democracy in drama can neglect the role of democracy’s central player.’ The issue of having a fully–fledged democratic system in Hong Kong goes close to the heart of the whole Hong Kong issue today.
