Miller presents his protagonist, Willy Loman, as the tragic common man. Through this characterization, Miller exposes the American Dream of upward mobility as the mythology that has replaced that of the ordered universe. This modern mythology claims that any man can achieve greatness, not through the will of gods but through personal will. Unlike a classical tragic hero, whose trouble coincides with a disturbance in universal order, Loman’s modern tragedy lies in his steadfast belief in the artificial capitalist system that betrays him.
