following quote, which is an exact description of the audiences feelings towards Willy;I don't say he was a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. Hisname was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived.But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him... But youdon't have to be very smart to know what his trouble is. The man is exhausted... A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man. Heworks for a company thirty-six years this March... and now in his old age, they take his salary away( Death 56).A tragic hero can be any man, 'great' or 'small'. In the case of tragedy to the common, everyday man, which is easily related to, the audience feels the pity commonly associated with tragedy. Only the modern tragedy can evoke pity to the modern audience so powerfully, of a normal guy trying to make it in the world....
