In the play, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman: Willy Loman, a
             sympathetic salesman and despicable father who's "life is a casting off" has some traits
             that match Aristotle's views of a tragic hero. Willy's series of "ups and downs" is identical
             to Aristole's views of proper tragic figure; a king with flaws. His faulty personality, the
             financial struggles, and his inabiltity are three substantital flaws that contribute to his
             Willy, an aging salesman who sells nothing, is abused by the buyers, and
             repeatly borrows money from Charley to make ends meet. He is angered by the way his
             boss, Howard fired him after working for thirty-four-years at the same company, "You

             of the moral law, which is what the enlightenment of tragedy consists of, is not the
             discovery of some abstract or metaphysical quantity. (miller, common man)
             His problem is that he has so completely accepted the values of his society that he judges
             himself by standards rooted in social myths rather than human necessities. This lack of
             insight is strikingly similiar to traits of the tragic hero. As Aristotle's writes, the tragic
             hero, "Lives for honor and fame".
             The glaring point of his faulty personality of neglecting others includes
             those closest to him, his wife, Linda and his two sons, Biff and Happy. "You'...
