Except for the peculiar cultural concepts of tragedy as a dramatic genre, the Aristotelian tragedy and the contemporary tragedy of the common man by Arthur Miller have seemingly been internationally considered as the main concepts that define tragedy and the tragic hero/heroine. Could there not be a better way to see tragedy that will be at the peak by its manifestation of the characteristics of both the Aristotelian tragedy and tragedy of the common man? This paper focuses on redirecting the concept of tragedy in the attempt to finding a topnotch tragedy that will unite the hitherto contrasting Aristotelian Tragedy and Arthur Miller's Tragedy of the Common Man through the unique approach of Ama Ata Aidoo in her play: Anowa. This is done through textual and structural analysis. It is recommended that contemporary playwrights will adopt this recommended approach to define the concept of tragedy in the attempt to presenting the flaws in life to readers of tragedy.
