Willy The Tragic Hero
1,346 words
A mighty warrior, slain during a battle while
defending his family's honor comes to mind when we
consider what makes a hero; not the image of a
traveling salesman committing suicide to acquire
personal satisfaction. In Millers play Death of A
Salesman, Willy Loman's desire for success became
his central drive with such intensity that it
created a smoke screen blocking reality in his
mind. The only way in which Willy can live up to

(Essay E) Iliad 24: The Rough Road to Compassion.

of King Priam, Hector. This violates Greek funeral
rites, which say that a warrior of Hectors status,
like Patrokles before him, should receive a proper
burial....
