Abstract

The study aims to consider the literary philosophy behind the
process of acquiring a standard of knowledge and culture through literature
and specifically tragedies. It tries to show with details the merits of dealing
with literary classes in the process of teaching English at college grade. The
study presents Miller's Death of a Salesman as an example to improve and
update the learner's knowledge and culture. The mechanism of teaching drama
will not be discussed as it may deviate the reader towards other criteria that are
not sought by the study because the purpose is purely literature.
