In Walter Benjamin's The Origin of the German Tragic Drama we learn that fate, in tragedy, is in a closed form that is expressed by myth and by the law. In the baroque drama, instead, this closed form comes to be disclosed and the inscrutability of fate is traversed to attempt the flight. The baroque drama is the experience of this inscrutability: from mourning to the intriguer's plot, the play, appearance, and all its elements are the experience of the mystery made by the "naked creature" that, in this very experience, becomes the world.
