We feel ashamed when we have fallen short of what we hoped to achieve. Guilt has to do with letting others down, we fell it because we have let the person down. The tragedy of the play highlights how feelings of shame shape Willy’s sense of himself, his identity. Guilt plays a role that consumes Willy internally. Willy’s downfall is a result of his reluctance to face his shame, his guilt towards his affair and the way Biff’s life turned out, and the social pressures of success.
In my opinion, dramatic irony was added because Creon is slightly arrogant character. I predicted that he would be disappointed in him and that he will get what he deserves for being so evil to the people of his country.
