A Reexamination of Tragedy and Madness in Eight Selected Plays, from the Greeks to the 20th Century


Overview

"This study links classic tragedy and the modern period through the concept of madness, which has been an extensive preoccupation of both tragedians and modernists. Taking tragedy as a portrayal of the negation of an individual's sense of reality, the author provides readings of eight plays: Greek plays (""The Libation Bearers"", ""Antigone"" and ""The Bacchae""); Shakespeare (""Othello"" and ""Macbeth""); and modern tragedy (""Hedda Gabler"", ""A Streetcar Named Desire"" and ""Death of a Salesman"")."
