                               Critical appreciation of 'Mowing'                   As the speaker labors in his farm field on a quiet, hot day, he can't helpbut notice that his scythe seems to be whispering as it works. He can't exactly hear what the scythe is saying, and he admits that there is a chance that the whispering sound is simply in his own mind because of the qitetness of the day or perhaps due to the heat of the sun playing tricks on him.

                                   Introduction                      Death of a Salesman is typically classified as a modern tragedy. This implies that it follows the example of classic Greek tragedies and Shakespearean and Jacobean tragedy. There are, however subtle but vital difference between these forms. Aristotle's classic view of tragedy saw the form as one which only properly deals with the fate of Gods, kings and heroes.
