On the stage we can often witness the conquest of pain and suffering. It is brought forcefully to our consciousness when we contemplate the event recognized by a large part of humanity as the greatest in history. The event that divides our reckoning of time into two parts—the salvation through Christ Jesus. It may strike us that, precisely through contemplating a suffering of world magnitude, the profoundest hope takes root in human hearts. Christianity reassures us concerning eternity, concerning victory over death. From looking up to a universal suffering preceded by no personal guilt or sin, we derive hope and strength. This indicates a consolatory feeling in the human soul that always asserts itself in the face of suffering.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Durch Leiden und leidensvolle Kämpfe hindurch führt der Dichter immer wieder und wiederum den Helden; und wenn er dann bis zu dem Punkte kommt, wo der Schmerz sich aufs höchste steigert und in dem Ende des physischen Körpers seinen Abschluß findet, dann lebt in der Seele des Zuschauers nicht bloß Mitleid mit dem tragischen Helden, nicht bloß die Betrübnis darüber, daß solche Leiden, wie sie sich eben abgespielt haben, möglich sind, sondern es stellt sich heraus, daß der Mensch vom Anblick des Leidens gehoben und erbaut wurde, daß er das Leid hat untergehen sehen im Tode und aus dem Tode heraus sich die Gewißheit ergeben hat, daß es einen Sieg gibt über Schmerzen und Leiden, ja selbst über den Tod. Durch nichts kann künstlerisch dieser höchste Sieg des Menschen, dieser Sieg seiner innersten Kräfte und Triebe, dieser Sieg des edelsten Triebes seiner Natur so erhaben vor Augen geführt werden als durch das Trauerspiel. Wenn dem Bewußtsein dieses Sieges das Erlebnis von Leiden und Schmerzen vorhergegangen ist und wir von solchen Tatsachen, die sich vor den Augen des Zuschauers im Theater immer wieder abspielen können, aufschauen zu dem, was ein großer Teil der heutigen Menschheit noch immer als das Höchste aller geschichtlichen Entwicklung empfindet, wenn wir aufschauen zu dem Ereignis, das unsere Zeitrechnung in zwei Teile teilt, zu dem Ereignisse der Erlösung durch den Christus Jesus, dann kann es uns auffallen, daß eine der größten Erhebungen, eine der größten Erbauungen und Siegeshoffnungen, die jemals im Herzen der Menschen Platz gegriffen haben, aus dem weltgeschichtlichen Anblick des Leides entsprossen ist. Die großen, bedeutsamen und tief in das Menschenherz einschneidenden Empfindungen der christlichen Weltanschauung, jene Empfindungen, die für so viele Menschen Lebenshoffnung und Lebenskraft sind, die Gewißheit geben, daß es ein Ewiges, daß es einen Sieg über den Tod gibt, alle diese erbauenden und erhebenden Empfindungen entspringen aus der Anschauung eines universellen Leidens, eines Leidens, das die Unschuld trifft, eines Leidens, das durch keine Sünde der eigenen Persönlichkeit herbeigeführt worden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":346,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/55/1906-11-08/p009"}],"english":["GA 55/1906-11-08/p010","GA 55/1906-11-08/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"partial","length_check":{"de_words":346,"en_words":222,"ratio":0.64,"partial":true},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.81,"band":"watch","note":"This witness is somewhat shorter than the original.
