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
his presentation of himself to the world would be
to lay down his...

Death Of A Salesman Tragic Hero
2,734 words
Abstract: The sober treatment of a lowly, unheroic
protagonist in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman
flatters the audience. The more obvious way that
it flatters us is by alienating us from the
protagonist in his downfall so that we watch his
destruction from a secure vantage. Less obviously,
the form of the play, typical of modern American
tragedy, romanticizes the protagonist through what
I call the audience's paradox, that tension
created when a serious work of literature employs
an obscure ...

End Of The Scene Goody Proctor

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller,
which is based on the true story of the Salem
witch trails. Miller wanted theatre to heighten
the awareness of what living in our time involves.
Therefore, his play has many links with the modern
world, McCarthyism for instance. Breaking it down
into many smaller scenes, I will analyse Act 1 of
The Crucible. I am doing this to explore the
dramatic effect of character and action. The
Crucible is a powerful drama and is strongly built

... he still has an affair; this hypocrisy is
highlighted by the way this line leads on to a
scene with The Woman. Despite telling her that she
is "the best" he constantly interrupts her and
it's obvious that the household revolves around
Willy and his two boys - this is symbolized by the

lost all of his money in the crash of 1929, quit
school as a young child to support his family by
holding several different odd jobs. From these
jobs, Miller learned about the life of a simple
man of America who became the highlight of many of
his works (View from the Bridge, The Misfits).

Death Of A Salesman Dime A Dozen

If the exaltation of tragic action were truly a
property of the high-bred character alone, it is
inconceivable that the mass of mankind should
cherish tragedy above all other forms (Dwyer). It
makes little sense that tragedy should only
pertain to those in high ranks. As explained in
his essay Tragedy and the Common Man, Arthur
Miller sets out the pattern for his own idea of a
tragedy and the tragic hero. This pattern supports
the idea that a tragedy can occur in characters of
common men as well...

World War Ii Death Of A Salesman

Arthur Miller s tragedy is not simply detailing
the failure of poor Willy Loman, a broken down
salesman, but of middle-class America. Miller uses
the Loman's as a vehicle to show precisely what
can and does go wrong with the American Dream.
Miller uses many characters to contrast the
difference between success and failure within the
system. Willy is the dreamy salesman whose
imagination is much larger than his sales ability,
while Linda is Willys wife who stands by her
husband even in his absenc...

CHAUCER? S IMPRESSION OF WOMEN OF MEDIEVAL TIMES
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in the
late 1400 s. By conceiving the idea of a
pilgrimage to Canterbury in which each character
strives to tell the best story, Chaucer cleverly
reveals a particular social condition of England
during the time. In this time period, the status,
role, and attitudes towards women was clearly
different from that of today. Two tales in

Arthur Millers Th e Crucible is clearly a
representation of the true meaning of tragedy.
John Proctor was the medium, in which Miller
utilized to convey a universal depiction of
tragedy. A broad definition of a tragic hero is a
protagonist who, through faults and flaws of his
own and in the society in which he exists, falters
in the grand scheme of things. This mistake leads
to suffering, which ultimately leads to a
self-realization. Miller, himself, explained,
