I always assumed Jonas died too, but apparently the author wrote sequels and he didn't die [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.190|108.162.216.190]] 15:38, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

In my opinion, tragic stories should be about something real that we can learn from.  Other tragic media only serve to desensitize us to tragic realities.  The proper response to something tragic is to prevent it in the future.  You can't do that with a horror movie.  I think people are responding to our culture's distance from the extreme tragic realities of the world: some part of our brain is craving to handle tragic things in a world where such stories are all hidden in some way.

:There is quite a lot horror movies where the tragic part can totally be prevented if they just didn't do that obvious stupid thing they did, like going to the basement ... also, alternative explanation would be that people like tragic and horror movies because compared to that, their own tragedies don't look so serious. However, I might be bad person to explain ; I don't watch horror movies, I watch fantasy movies like Dracula or sci-fi like Frankenstein ... there are several movies where I was rooting for the monster. Ok, in some of them EVERYONE was rooting for the monster, but still. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 23:15, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
It should say Jonah [sic], not Jonas [sic]. The [sic] implies you did NOT correct it (so: the one quoting should not be blamed for the error). While, in this situation, you did correct the original error.  [[Special:Contributions/162.158.38.40|162.158.38.40]] 07:19, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
