I turned in my tragedy paper yesterday. I'm not sure how it turned out, but I argued on behalf of the Arthur Miller type of tragedy. I feel that the tragedy of the common man is much more compelling than the tragedies like Oedipus and other Greek tragedies. The stories portrayed through more 'modern' tragedies are much more palatable than the stories of men ripping their own eyes out.
I know that my paper needs a lot of editing and revision, but I think I got a lot of ground covered with my current version. We'll see how it goes.

I agree with your statement regarding modern tragedy. Although tragedy descends from Oedipus, it was far less realistic or believable than some tragic movies.
Naomi, I am sure your paper will be amazing. I can not wait to read it. I am excited to see how you incorporate the ideas we talked about in class regarding Arthur Miller!

I agree :) I think that tragedies that are bestowed upon men of a more common nature, that they can be more thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. When a character can be connected back to the viewer, it becomes less of a story and more of a captivating experience.
