问答题 Analyze the character of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.
【正确答案】正确答案:Willy Loman is a pathetic and tragic hero of Death of a Salesman. He perceives himself as having good qualities, as he cares for himself, his children and his wife, but in fact, he does not possess these qualities. And more importantly, his pride is his major flaw. His problems stem from his own delusions and misunderstanding his job and family. Willy Loman has the delusion and sees himself as being extremely important but nobody liked him that much since very few people came to his funeral. His dutiful wife understands him but further strains him. As a salesman, he totally misunderstands his occupation by trying to sell himself than the products. He focuses more on personal details over actual measures of success, looking down upon the returns of the business world. His family was something he equally misunderstands. Due to an affair with a woman, he loses the bond of the family. His wife and two children do not let him know the truth about him. They would tell him that his beliefs were wrong and that they know he was trying to kill himself. They do not always support him. So he fails to realize his personal failure. Willy is primarily a good person, but his own logic framework and action leads to his tragedy, as he cannot achieve a real personal and spiritual understanding of himself and becomes a literal "low man".
