One of the main characters, in which the story revolves around, Willy, was considered a tragic hero. His suicide only reveals a part of the truth in his story, depicting who he was as a person. He tried so hard to make everyone in his work and professional life happy, he forgot all about his own family and betrayed them in more ways than one. He never understood himself in an emotional, physical, or spiritual way. Many people focus too much on the lies that he told, delusions, and deceptions on

“Everything about Dylan screamed depressive---an extreme case, self-medicating with alcohol. The problem was how that led to murder. Dylan’s journal read like that of a boy on the road to suicide, not homicide.

So sad. I Never met him but had friends that had. It is obvious his influence spanned decades with us all. As kids, the world stopped when that new nutty guy came on Mork and Mindy. We ate it up right. Then with the Stand- Up, he took us completely outside of the box. Brand new territory. He went into the strangest quirky places, but you could always follow him, he made sure. I really liked him on talk shows, where the lightning quick wit was on raw display. Always on his feet. A Legend for that first. Speaking as a comedic performer with a career of gigs, there is this dynamic I've perceived in so many others including myself. It goes back to Comedy/Tragedy for me. Great electrifying comedians seem to have 2 traits, intelligence and pain. The pain is like a great unmovable mountain. The intelligence steps in to counter it - to create a real way out or through the tragedy, on the urge to transform it, to deal, to attack it. The answer becomes obvious, it's antithesis - Comedy. The intelligence objectively trounces the pain, with a chronic attitude towards levity. It embarks on the magnanimous task of converting the Tragedy with a jocular transducer within. There is keen attention on from where the outer laughter comes, and it is refined and repeated to be reliable. The outer world becomes all happy by your doing, and positive attention comes. Very clever, but one can never dredge up a cure for the pain that way. It is a desperate

Robin Williams was one the most famous person in the United State of America. Everyone would have believed that he had accomplished all of Maslow’s Hierarch of need. William was lacking so more than one of the basic needs of his life but the one that I will focus on is his Safety and Security. He had many demons in his life and no one could have protected him. Safety and security is not just physical need like shelter but it’s also psychologically need such as safe, freedom from all harm and danger.

(Shmoop Editorial Team) He was orphaned as a child and separated from his siblings. Many of his family members died; his mother, father, wife, and brother all died from tuberculosis. Poe had caught some of the sickness himself which led to researchers believing he was a drug addict. All the events in his life caused him to become depressed, torn at heart by loneliness, and aggressive with his peers.

In turn, Willy ends up killing himself over going mentally insane from all of his lies and overwhelming thoughts. As sort of a tragic reality, Willy dies before he could enjoy a fully paid home, a healthy relationship with his sons and no stress. Willy’s strong love for money and attention make him see himself not as a loving father or husband but rather in purely monetary

Actor and singer, Cory Monteith, was found in his Vancouver hotel room after he never checked out at the scheduled time earlier that day. An autopsy showed that although his death was accidental, there was a mixture of alcohol, heroine, and codeine in his system at the time of death which were determined to be the cause of death. Any mixture or amount of alcohol and another depressant, in this case heroin, or another drug can prove to be fatal. In Monteith's case, having a past history of drug and alcohol abuse was likely a factor in his possibly most recent relapse. Having not used drugs or alcohol over an extended period of time, his use at the hotel proved to be fatal after having a diminished tolerance of one, or all, of the depressants

This article is loosely based on the actions of Michael Phelps—one of which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by alcohol, violation of a license restriction, and failure to obey a traffic control device while under the age of 21, another of which includes him, at 23 years old, smoking from a marijuana pipe. This analysis looks into how Phelps’ image was saved by his public relations team; their quick actions led him to a continued career with a multitude of sponsors. Joseph Walsh and Shelia M. McAllister-Spooner team up to find out what methods were taken when this controversy occurred; essentially how Phelps and his team prevented a banishment of him from the world’s eyes. They take certain

At one point in his review, who stated, “Arthur Miller would claim that the dysfunctional values of American society killed him. However, I believe that Willy Loman suffered from senility.” I oppose his statement on Willy committing suicide because he suffered from senility.
