Willy

In a eulogy for a man whose life I did not admire, I can weakly celebrate, yet i can’t say that he was such a bad person as more that he was a delusional one. It’s safe to say, Willy wasn’t the man he tried to portray himself to be. He was a salesman, but didn’t make any sales. Ironic, isn’t it. A man who sells for a living, can’t sell. He was employed, but made no money. He took money from Charley and pretended that he earned it. He never earned anything. The man was a huge liar, he took and gave

One of the main protagonists named Willy, a traveling salesman, is considered middle class with a stable job, a home, but without a college degree.

The main feature of tragedies is the hero. These heroes all follow a similar archetype, but each one is different from the others in his or her own way. Oedipus from the Greek play Oedipus Rex, Hamlet from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Willy Loman from the modern tragedy Death of a Salesman are all tragic heroes and as a result share many traits, but each one was still different from the other two. The slight differences are what make each hero unique. Oedipus was the only hero who’s flaws did not

Death of a Salesman Response Paper This play is a non-tragic because Willy does not have the ferocity which is an key element of the genre.

Willy Loman’s most flaccid attribute that didn’t allow this play to have a tragic plot is

Willy is a deeply troubled man who withholds unrealistic dreams for himself and his two sons, Biff and Happy.

'Willy had grand illusions and many misconceptions regarding death. Because he was a salesman, and a "New England man," he considers himself "well-known" and "well liked" (Brescia 1). The point at issue is not that Loman is not well-liked, rather, the misfortune is that he does not know, he is not well-liked.
