In the novel 'Death of a Salesman' and the Shakespearean play 'King Lear', the two main characters are very much alike. The similiarities vary but one which can be agreed upon by all is that Willy Loman and King Lear are two Tragic Characters. The tragic flaws these two exhibit are pretty much the same. These two men, these two fathers were blinded by themselves. King Lear was blinded by want for love whereas Williy Loman was blinded by want for prestige.
In King Lear's case he put all his hopes on the two daughters who did not truly love him, while disinheriting the daughter who truly did love him.
