It's hard to come up with a thesis because it seems like your outline is just outlining the plot of the play. When you write an essay, try to think of the thesis before you write the outline.
thesis examples:
Willy is an unsuccessful salesman because it can't sell himself (he's not the type of person people like).
His pride is his downfall. He is a tragic hero.
