SummaryIn the history of the theatre, tragedies have always existed as a window to human nature. They depict man at his best, ready to sacrifice everything, even his life for the cause. The different types of tragedy include Sophocles's Greek tragedy, Shakespearean romantic tragedy, and modern tragedy. Each tragedy has its own specific guidelines. In some cases, an article or essay is written to list these guidelines. For example, Aristotle wrote The Poetics, an article that outlines Aristotelian Literary Theory, and the specific guidelines for a Greek tragedy. Another such case is Tragedy and the Modern Man, by Arthur Miller. In the essay, Miller lists the qualities and requirements for a play to be modern tragedy. One such is a play, written by Miller and based on the Salem Witch Trials, The Crucible by name.
