murder and war and incest.

No. It's not depressing to most people, or at least not to people who like it. It's dramatic. It's often enlightening. It can be exciting.

To someone who is rather depressive, predisposed to that reaction, many of Shakespeare's plays may seem depressive, but that's not Shakespeare; it's that reader or playgoer. Depression, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
