摘    要
 悲劇是最古老也是最常見(jiàn)的一種戲劇題材。長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，悲劇的主人公都為帝王或出身高貴的上流階層。但是美國(guó)劇作家阿瑟·米勒的《推銷(xiāo)員之死》打破了這一傳統(tǒng)，大膽地將觸角伸向普通的勞動(dòng)人民。米勒憑借自己多年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)與非凡的洞察力，提出了自己獨(dú)特的現(xiàn)代悲劇觀，他打破了傳統(tǒng)悲劇的僵化模式，更加實(shí)用地繼承與發(fā)展了悲劇形式。小說(shuō)的悲劇主人公威利·洛曼多年來(lái)一直是文學(xué)評(píng)論的焦點(diǎn)。本文首先分析小說(shuō)悲劇的主要體現(xiàn)，即男主人公的悲劇命運(yùn)；然后從內(nèi)因、外因以及米勒悲劇觀這三個(gè)角度來(lái)探討其悲劇命運(yùn)的成因，以助讀者更加深刻、全面地了解這部作品。

ABSTRACT
 Tragedy is one of the oldest and most common forms of drama. For a long time, it had been an accepted rule that the tragic hero must be the kings, nobles or protagonists with high rank. However, Arthur Miller boldly extends his reach to ordinary working people. Miller states his unique view of tragedy, which both inherits and develops the theory of traditional tragedy. Typically, Miller’s tragic view is presented in his masterpieces-Death of a Salesman. The tragic hero Willy Loman in the novel has long been the focus of literary criticism. This paper first analyzes the embodiment of the tragedy in Death of a Salesman: the tragic fate of the hero, then explores the causes of his tragic fate in three aspects: the internal and external causes, and Miller’s tragedy theory. In this way, this paper tries to help the readers to have a more profound and comprehensive understanding of the play.

Key words：tragedy; Death of a Salesman; Willy Loman
