Tragedy of the Common Man

          In his piece, "Tragedy of the Common Man" Arthur Miller explained how a common man is capable to have something bad happen to him just the same as a man, who is superior to him. Both men would have something to rid themselves of but as for a higher power there is more to lose. Miller says that the tragedies are old and it has been pushed that it's "only for the very highly placed, the kings or the kingly." Of course he does not agree with the conclusion of the written tragedies before and that's why he created a similar piece called, "Death of a Salesman", which heavily depicts the tragedy of a common man. In my mindset, I can agree with Miller's view of the shared tragedies that can happen to both the common man and the superior man.
