I never read Death of a Salesman so I can’t qualify.

It’s a close match. From the WIkipedia entry:

William “Willy” Loman: The salesman. He is 62 years old and unstable, insecure, and self-deluded. Willy tends to re-imagine events from the past as if they are real. He vacillates between different perceptions of his life. Willy seems childlike and relies on others for support, coupled with his recurring flashbacks to world war two .
