The play tries to put forward a counterexample against Aristotle's description of tragedy as the collapse of a great man: although Roman certainly had Hamartia, a tragic defect or mistake, his collapse was the collapse of an ordinary man.

Aristotle portrays tragic characters by the failure of great men, but the play tries to do the opposite: it is true that the hero Willie Loman is the weakness of tragedy to some extent, but his fall is the fall of a mortal.

Before going to see Death of a Salesman, we always associate it with a series of profound words such as stream of consciousness, disintegration of personality and tragic defects. The resulting awe has always let me pass this masterpiece. Until one day I overheard a recording of Death of a Salesman, and the whole person was completely attracted. All the way, I was excited by their persistent dreams, moved by the warm undercurrent between father and son, and deeply saddened by the final disillusionment of the American dream.

I think it is not necessarily the analysis of experts and scholars that attracts us ordinary readers with such an excellent work: stream of consciousness, male chauvinism or realism. At least what attracts me is the struggle of the little people in the torrent of society. Such little people share the same life and dreams with us: there are also quarrels about daily necessities in our family, and there is no lack of warmth in our mouths; We also hope to reach the front line of social success, but hard work may not guarantee the realization of our dreams.
