Replying to Help me interperet this quote for my English final! (+ karma)

    Alright so tommorow for my English final I've gotta interperet this quote and then relate it to some kind of reading or literature we did during the course of the year in an essay format. I have my own interpretation of it, but I want some other input...I'm kind of a retard.

"You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks."

-Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian Philosopher
