Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman breaks the mold of formulaic tragedies of previous eras. In this play he deals with middle-class people. At the opening of the play, the tragic hero, an old traveling salesman, Willy Loman, has already fallen and from the beginning was never an influential, admirable, or famous individual accept in his own mind. Even his loyal wife Linda admits that he has never been a “great man” or even the “finest” of characters. Nevertheless, she maintains that he is worthy of some attention as a human being who suffers. After all, she says, “a small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.”]
