History Animation / TheTragedyOfMan

* AncientGreece Animation In the style of the red-and-black paintings of Grecian vases.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Lucifer dismisses the army of angels and spirits because they were created by God like "shadows born from light", and claims that he himself had been the dawn of existance that forced God to create. He then proceeds to list opposite pairs such as matter and distance, life and death, happiness and sadness, and even ''light and shadow'', to support this claim - completely missing that, by his own original statement, these were created by God!

* DreamWithinADream: During the sequnce in Prague, Adam (as Kepler) falls asleep. The sequnce during the French Revolution takes place within this dream. This is the only sequnce not "created" by Lucifer. When he wakes up, he finds himself in Prague again.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Lucifer dismisses the army of angels and spirits because they were created by God like "shadows born from light", and claims that he himself had been the dam of existance that forced God to create. He then proceeds to list opposite pairs such as matter and distance, life and death, happiness and sadness, and even ''light and shadow'', to support this claim - completely missing that, by his own original statement, these were created by God!

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: No matter what new ideal Adam chooses to follow next, Lucifer shows how him only how it became corrupted and twisted by humanity. However no matter what, Eve always shows up to give Adam a new glimmer of hope.
* VillainHasAPoint: Lucifer ultimately dismisses all of Adam's idealistic beliefs with toxic, paralyzing rationality. [[spoiler: What he fails to understand is that hope, which brings Adam the power to struggle, is irrational.]]

Nearly 3 hour long, it consists of several segments, each with its own art style, appropriate to the depicted era:
* [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]], where Lucifer seduces Adam and Eve. The animation style reflects an immatirial world, and uses vivid colors and shapeshifting forms.
* The [[OneMillionBC Stone Age]] The animation is styled after the paintings of books written in the theme, but abstract elements also show-up, and animated cave paintings are also used.

* AncientGreece Animation mimicks the red-and-black paintings of vases that remained from Ancient Greece.
* AncientRome Uses sculptures for the main characters, moving mosaics.
* [[TheDungAges European Middle Ages]]: Depicted in the form of animated pictures from the chronicles of the era.
* 17th century Prague: In the style of woodcuts.

* VictorianBritain (AnachronismStew sort of)

* AnachronismStew: The Medieval segment switches back and forth between Crusades, late Middle Ages, and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arian_controversy Arian controversy]]. The Victorian segment, which was contemporary to Imre Madách, in the adaptation gradually transforms into TheRoaringTwenties and then into TurnOfTheMillennium.
