Death of a Salesman
Authur Miller, born in New York City writes the play. He has been married three times, the second marriage being to Marilyn Monroe, the well-know American actress. Willy Loman has been a traveling salesman for Wagner Company for thirty-four years. He likes to think of himself vital to the New England territory. Long ago Willy met a salesman named Dave Singleton who would go into a town and pick up a phone without leaving his hotel room. When this man died, people from all over the country came to his funeral. This is whom Willy wanted to be Dave Singleton; this was also a part of the reason that Willy became a salesman. In the beginning of the play, Willy has just come back home after having left for New England that morning. He tells his wife, he just can't seem to keep his mind on driving anymore. He asks about his favorite son Biff, who has just come back home for a visit after being away for a long time. Willy son, Biff was considered to be an American dream teenager. Biff was a great football player; many universities offered him scholarships. But during that year Biff failed math and had gone to Boston to tell his father the devastating news. When Biff reaches Willy's hotel room in Boston
Also, Biff's character prevented him to get close to his father. Happy, Willy's youngest son, he has much more confidence than Biff. For a while he thought he was a vital salesman in New England; Willy's affair might have been caused by Willy trying to prove to him that he is a well-liked person. In Biff's early years, Willy has infused him with the idea of being well liked. Due to Willy's concept of being well liked, Biff flunks math; he goes to Boston to search out his dad. He than has been trying to imitate Dave Singleman. As for Authur Miller, it is fairly clear to us that he cannot breath in his marriage causing for Willy's death in the end. Biff finds his father having an affair with a strange woman. But there is no real discussion or explanation between the two about what Willy did and what Biff saw. Willy's idol Dave Singleman was able to stay in his hotel room, where he telephoned buyers and sold a tremendous amount of merchandise without leaving his room. He and his younger brother Happy try to think of some job that Biff could get and settle down in New York. The stories they were told made them picture their father as a popular, successful, well-known salesman. However, when Biff sees his father with another woman, Biff views his father as a fake. He has tried to conform to the demands of the city and has been able to achieve moderate success.
