DOWNLOAD EBOOKHere laying more stress on modern tragic vision, it is generally democratized, but comparatively speaking this is more true of Arthur Miller than Eugene O'Neill's. O'Neill takes a much more perspicacious, psychological approach that renders the psyche bare and illustrates his view that science and its brainchild of materialism, offers no psychic balm or emotional solace to mankind. O'Neill's tragic vision thus doesn't man but, rather, lays bare the spiritual wasteland that he is in the contemporary materialist world. By contrast, Miller in Death of a Salesman attempts to affirm and reaffirm man within the confines of materialism - a concomitant of capitalism. Other canons of Aristotle, Sri Aurobindo, C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, George A. Kelly, Rollo May and Tony Wolfe have also been applied to make the critical study more effective and encompassing .

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShakespeare's tragic vision has its roots firmly grounded in the thrust and theme represented by the Elizabethan tragic view. Here fate isn't character but it is the character that creates volley like tragic fate. Due to this flaw in his character, Lear got himself fated to be doomed in the world of suffering. Again Shakespeare's Timon suffers for being poor judge human nature. He buys flatterers not friends. By the way, friends aren't for sale, the fact Timon must have been aware of. No gods or prophecies never ever directed their actions, In a world where man is surrounded by Gonerils, Reagans and Edmunds man must have strong cerebral part of character to treat them judiciously. Other heroes of Shakespeare's tragedies became zeros due to the hamartia- a flaw in their character e.g. Hamlet was indecisive, Othello was over-passionate etc. Etc. With the passage of time, paradigms do undergo transformation i.e. Greek tragic vision got replaced by the Shakespeare's.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume responds to a renewed focus on tragedy in theatre and literary studies to explore conceptions of tragedy in the dramatic work of seventeen canonical American playwrights. For students of American literature and theatre studies, the assembled essays offer a clear framework for exploring the work of many of the most studied and performed playwrights of the modern era. Following a contextual introduction that offers a survey of conceptions of tragedy, scholars examine the dramatic work of major playwrights in chronological succession, beginning with Eugene O'Neill and ending with Suzan-Lori Parks. A final chapter provides a study of American drama since 1990 and its ongoing engagement with concepts of tragedy. The chapters explore whether there is a distinctively American vision of tragedy developed in the major works of canonical American dramatists and how this may be seen to evolve over the course of the twentieth century through to the present day. Among the playwrights whose work is examined are: Susan Glaspell, Langston Hughes, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, Lorraine Hansberry, Amiri Baraka, August Wilson, Marsha Norman and Tony Kushner. With each chapter being short enough to be assigned for weekly classes in survey courses, the volume will help to facilitate critical engagement with the dramatic work and offer readers the tools to further their independent study of this enduring theme of dramatic literature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnder the microscope of recent scholarship the universality of Greek tragedy has started to fade, as particularities of Athenian culture have come into focus. Miriam Leonard contests the idea of the death of tragedy and argues powerfully for the continued vitality and viability of Greek tragic theater in the central debates of contemporary culture.
