**PLEASE HELP ME ON MY HOMEWORKK*
Answers:
Yes, it should. It's about chasing the American Dream and living it. Unfortunately for Willy Loman, he can't do either. Seeing how his other brothers were successful and how his sons didn't get something of themselves bothered Loman deeply. All the goals he had be either far- fetched or impossible. Loman felt that he be better off dead.
Tragedy and the Common Man
An Essay by Arthur Miller 1949
In this age few tragedies are written. It has normally been held that the lack is due to a paucity of heroes among us, if not that modern man has had the blood drawn out of his organs of belief by the skepticism of science, and the heroic attack on life cannot nurture on an attitude of reserve and circumspection. For one reason or another, we are often held to be below tragedy--or tragedy above us. The inevitable conclusion is, of course, that the tragic mode is archaic, fit lone for the very highly placed, the kings or the kingly, and where this entry is not made in so many words it is most often implied.
