Well, he is definitely tragic.
Thank you very much, while you're up.

Hi,
I think Willy Loman is absolutely a tragic character, but not a hero. Enjoy the book; it's terrific!
A bit depressing, though:(

Willy is best known for his realization that he has, as he says, "nothing in the ground," and it’s one of the simplest but most powerful metaphors in modern literature. His years of work have yielded desperately little, finally, that can be held in the hand. Whether we want to or not, we live through our work as well as by it. Reconciling that with the conditions of the cold hard world hasn’t gotten much easier for most people, So yes, he is a tragic hero.
