Comparison of Tragedies Written by Miller and Aristotle

For a story to be a tragedy it has to follow the principles set
by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, or those of Arthur Miller

This flaw is the part of the character that personifies him as being tragic. Miller uses this definition of a tragedy but also broadens it including the common man.
