An attempt is made to define the essence of the tragic through an examination of Euripides' 'The Bacchae', a tragedy that deals with the origins of tragedy itself. The action here culminates in the dismemberment of Pentheus by his mother. It is proposed that the tragic may be related to the earliest phases of differentiation of the subject as a separate entity breaking off from the original mother-infant unit. Tragedy, in this view, could be regarded as the enactment of a primal phantasy of the birth of the 'I' as the result of an archaic act of violence. The process of mourning for the loss of the original unity is central to this development. Pentheus' tragic flaw consists in his repudiation of contradictory dualities and his inability to mourn. The integrative function of 'Logos', both in tragedy and in the analytic process, is underlined. It is suggested that 'Logos' aims to generate meaning not by eliminating contradiction but by embodying the foundational human paradox.
通过审视欧里庇得斯的《酒神的伴侣》来尝试定义悲剧的本质，这部悲剧探讨了悲剧本身的起源。这里的情节以彭透斯被他的母亲肢解而达到高潮。有人提出，悲剧可能与主体作为一个从最初的母婴单元分离出来的独立实体的最早分化阶段有关。从这个角度来看，悲剧可以被视为“我”诞生的原始幻想的一种呈现，这是一种古老暴力行为的结果。对失去原初统一的哀悼过程是这一发展的核心。彭透斯的悲剧缺陷在于他对矛盾二元性的拒绝以及他无法哀悼。强调了“逻各斯”在悲剧和分析过程中的整合功能。有人认为，“逻各斯”旨在产生意义，不是通过消除矛盾，而是通过体现人类的基本悖论。
