Tragedy and the Common Man

      While the famous tragedies are typically focused on the nobility, everyone can be a victim of tragedy.  The comman man can experience and understand tragedy as well, if not better, than the nobility.  He may even experience it more often, for tragedy is the struggle of man to maintain his dignity.  When you are at the mercy of the nobility, maintaining dignity can be a constant struggle.  Tragedy also comes from the fear of being displaced.  The common man perhaps knows this fear the best.  This fear and struggle may give the basis for the classical tragedies where kings are battling for their nations.  If the nobility is upset, the common man would be as well. 
      There must be a chance for victory in tragedy or the story is one of inferiority.  Even when tragedy overcomes victory, the tragedy implies the optimism of mankind.  We will always fight for what is right.  We will never give up our humanity.
