How does Miller present Joe Keller as a tragic hero In All My Sons? Joe Keller is a man who loves and values his family very much and has sacrificed everything, including his honour, in his struggle to make his family prosperous. He is a self-made business man, who in spite of his humble beginning, has managed to work his way up in the business world and become a successful manufacturer. Joe perfectly fits into the category of tragic hero. Unlike Greek plays, where main characters were kings and nobles for they were thought to embody the whole community, modern tragedies present an average leader of a family, neither completely good nor completely evil, whose mistake leads to his self-destruction.
The play begins by showing the readers that Othello is a noble General. He is well respected by his officers with the exception of Iago of course, and he is well respected by politicians. The Duke makes it clear what the town thinks of Othello by saying “Othello, the fortitude of the place is best known to you.” (1. I; iii 576). And later on in the same scene he says to Barbantio, “Your son-in-law is far more fair than black.” Othello is a highly esteemed man who commands the respect of everyone he meets.
Taking this into account, we can conclude that there is in fact no place for real men in the Business World. Willy Loman proceeds to choose a different life from his brother and father by opting for the Business World as opposed to the Green World. He does this in order to prove that he is a man who can create his own path to success, however the tragedy of Willy’s dream is that you cannot be independent in the Business World. We soon come to realise that Willy is no exception to this as he describes his wife Linda as his ‘foundation and his support’; without her assistance the Business World would have indirectly killed him. One way in which Linda holds up and encourages her husband is by telling him that things will work out for the better.
