摘　　要：Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is one of three most brilliant American playwrights in the 20th century. Death of a Salesman is Miller's most celebrated work which describes a common man Willy's self -destruction story because of his serious mental crisis. Critics have already analyzed it from different kinds of perspectives such as Marxism, naturalism etc. However, it is rare for people to analyze Willy's tragedy using Lacan's theory. So based on former researches, this thesis intends to make a thorough inquiry on inevitability of Willy's tragedy with the key point of Lacan's Mirror Stage theory. This paper will state it from two main aspects: image misidentification between mirage and reality and others' unrecognition, which arouse Willy's desperate disappointment which eventually forces Willy to set his foot on the way to death.
