Major writing assignment for the drama section.
Here is the topic: Is Willy Loman a tragic hero in Death of a Salesman?
You can argue either for or against, but either way justify your position with information from the play itself and bring in at least two secondary sources, things others have written about the topic.
The essay should be between 750 and 1000 words in APA style, including the title page, abstract, citations in the text of the essay, and a references page. You can easily find the classic definition of a tragic hero, and you can make some allowances for this being a modern play.
For example, in classic Greek drama, the protagonist was supposed to be someone of high stature, a king or prince or someone like that. Modern plays are usually about common people, so make allowances for that change in drama.
