Is Willy Loman A Tragic Hero

I
believe that Willy Loman can be considered a tragic hero, and was intended by his author to be a
tragic hero, only in the sense that he is not an individual but a type. Willy Loman represents
the millions of hard-working American men who end up on the ash heap when they get too old to be
of value to their employers. Willy Loman by himself is too insignificant a character to be
considered a tragic hero, but if we think of him as being multiplied by the millions who
preceded him and the millions who will follow him, then his fate becomes tragic by the sheer
weight of numbers. It seems obvious...
