Abstract
This dissertation is a comparative study between American playwright Arthur Miller’s
Death of a Salesman (1949) and Algerian playwright Abdelkader Alloula’sAl Adjouad
(1985). Our main interest in this research paper is to explore the affinities between the
selected plays and investigate the ways into which they apply modern tragedy on the common
man. We have borrowed Arthur Miller’s Tragedy and the Common Man. Throughout our
study of the two works, we have reached the conclusion that, both Miller and Alloula focus on
the depiction of the tragic fate of the common man. Our discussion is divided into three
chapters. The first chapter, deals with common man’s normal life before tragedy, whereas the
second chapter discusses struggle for dignity. The third chapter is about the tragic down fall
of the modern hero.
