This made it hard to hear the person talking, which I needed in order to understand what was happening. At one point, the room was loud enough that my ears were ringing once it…

Tragedy hero was concerned as archaic and kingly. But Arthur Miller shows us how a modern normal people could also called tragedy hero in Death of a Salesman.
