Modern Tragic Vision

Here 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 .
