The hero must suffer some kind of a fall
Yes true

Yes the story death of a salesman is a tragedy because it shows the sequence as being tragic and horrific because he kills himself in a car wreck. im afraid i cannot possibly agree...death of a salesman doesnt contain any of the features of a true tragedy defined by Aristotle. By that definition, many of Shakespeare's tragedies cannot be considered tragedy as they do not conform to Aristotle's definition of tragedy. Hamlet, considered his finest, breaks many of Aristotle's rules of tragedy. Surely we move on from purist classical definitions to embrace new modes of thinking. Miller's exploration of the plight of a common man is a Romantic concept in considering the common man worthy of study. Is not the common man as capable of tragedy as kings and queens?
