For Tuesday


Write a page or two on the following topic:

In "Tragedy and the Common Man," Arthur Miller writes: "Tragedy enlightens and it must, in that it points the heroic finger at the enemy of man's freedom. The thrust for freedom is the quality in tragedy which exalts."

Based on the above definition of tragedy: is Eddie Carbone a tragic figure? or is he not a tragic figure? Explain.
