Kitty Felde's a Patch of Earth as a Modern Tragedy
2017
Overview
The present research paper attempts to critically prove that Kitty Felde's A Patch of Earth, published in Robert Skloot's 2008 The theatre of Genocide, is a modern tragedy within the boundaries of the critical meaning of the term. For attaining this objective, the researcher traces the concept of modern tragedy in the writings of the modern playwrights and drama critics, with specific regard to Arthur Miller, the outstanding American dramatist. Light is specifically shed on his 1949 illuminating, yet controversial, article, \"Tragedy and the Common Man\" in which he theorizes for the relatively-new genre and pinpoints to what extent it meets with and departs from the conventions of the classical Greek tragedy laid by Aristotle in his Poetics. Through this critical survey, the researcher seeks the exploitation of Miller's critical concepts for understanding A Patch of Earth as a modern tragedy. The writer reaches the conclusion that Felde's drama is a typical modem tragedy that mainly aims to restore people's consciousness of their true position in life and change their status quo for the better.
