This play is a tragedy because in the end of the story Willy's pain eventually kills him. He is also the protagonist in this story but he is also the antagonist. He drives himself to his own death because he drives himself crazy in his job. The whole time I read this play I imagined everything dark and chatoic because it switches back and forth among reality, the past, and Willy's crazy mind. It's very imminent that this play is a tragedy because of the title, but until one begins reading it, it is difficult to figure out if it is the death of his mind or physical body. It ends up that both ahve occured and Willy has been out of his mind for quite a while. In the end, his hubris, himself, brings him to his demise. I don't think he could have saved himself though sadly enough. If anyone could have helped him it would have been his family but he did not seem to have a good enough support system to try to look past all of the crazy things in his life and actually help him out.
