tragedy and the common man

Authur Miller's Tragedy and the Common Man is a piece that opened my mind to the numerous ideas he presented,most of which I agreed with. I enjoyed how he presented that even though tragedies may seem archaic the problem the characters face aren't archaic but yet similar. Miller suggest that both royals and common folk share the same goal of trying to regain their postion in society or trying to change their position.Since royals and common folk share the same thinking process that allows them to face the same problems and react to them in the same fashion.I was intrigued that Miller believed that the common man's more prone to tragedy since they have a higher fear of their reputation being damaged or flawed.I agree that diginty and what people will do to keep it allows the common man just as much tragedy as a royal.As long as people have perseverance no matter the odds they are available to tragedy regardless their rank.
