چکیده (انگلیسی):

Manycritics have judged Tommy Wilhelm in terms of his weaknesses onlyand have considered hima complete failure,
far from being a hero. But many of them have failed to see the bright side of Tommy’s character. He possesses rare
human qualities completely alien to the citizens of a morally corrupt society. The article aims to prove that in spite of
possessing various negative and unheroic qualities, Tommy, by defying social structure and network, asserts his nonconformity which, along with his humanity, love and philanthropy, aversion for power and material success and most
importantly, his power of overcoming humiliation, secures him the position of a heroalthough an untraditional one. The
narrative structure also plays asignificant role behind his beinga hero.
