Salesman and Krapp
Most works people read follow the standard good and bad characters but in a few occasions there are no heroes or villains just antiheros. As it is seen in Arthur Miller's plays Death of a Salesman and Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape an antihero is not what anyone would expect to be the main character of a book or play. There are a few classifications that a character must abide by to be an antihero. The main characteristic of these two antiheroes seems to be self-destruction. Nevertheless, an antihero is traditionally defined as a main character in a dramatic or narrative work, characterized by a lack of traditional heroic qualities, such as idealism or courage. Both characters in these two stories lack any heroic qualities and make no positive impact on any other characters or themselves.
