There are several main themes to Death of a Salesman, which displays in a common man the aspects of a tragic epic. Willy Loman's self-perception is not grounded in reality, and his attempts at achieving greatness always elude him.
The greed for money can lead to death and other problems. He had problems will Howard, and his relationship with Biff started to weaken.

in the play bernard who was once a geek, becomes a very successful lawyer, it is said "he is going to argue a case in front of the supreme court" this is ironic as willy himself said bernard would never be successful and biff would be fantastic. when it turns out bernard is super successful willy is confused as to why bernard was successful and biff not.

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?

Charley is the juxtaposition of Willy, without Charley a lot of Willy's true flaws would not be revealed. Through Charley you realise that Willy was more a victim of his own personal flaws rather than that of an unfair capitalist regime.
