King Lear lived in a disillusioned state all the while thinking that he was loved. It is tragic because he was 'looking for love in all the wrong places'. Only in the end when it was too late did he recognise his mistake.
Willy Loman on the other hand was disillusioned by his quest for money and prestige. Willy believed so much in his dream that he constantly lived in a 'fairy tale world'. Just as Lear was stubborn about his beliefs so was Willy. In the end Willy too died but in his case he died without ever seeing the error of his ways.
