Death of a Salesman
Death is such a contradicting situation. It is always a sad event, but in some perspectives it may or may not be a joyous event. Not to say that death should be celebrated, just to point out that life may have been a more dramatic experience. For my first novel in G.T. I read Death of a Salesman, a play written by Arthur Miller. Arthur Miller was born in 1915, in New York City. His parents were well To do until the depression. He attended college where he won three drama prizes. Death of a Salesman was his their Broadway play. The play Death of A Salesman was an extremely confusing play, it was a dialogue between a family of people. There were numerous flashbacks used to illustrate things that happened in the past. The overall purposeof the flashbacks was to describe the situation that Willy Loman, the main character, was dillusional. I feel that in this the characters of this book are well described. The author describes Willy was an average man with a somewhat normal life. His wife Linda is loving and like any woman she sticks by her man. Happy and Biff are Willy and Linda's sons. The play takes place when Biff and Happy come to visit their parentsfor a couple of days.
It shows an average american family struggling to get by. Although, in the movie the mother does work because the father is unable to find work due to the fact of some crimes he committed as a child. The play suggested that in life that certain things have to be completed in life before death is bestowed upon someone. Other untasteful words are used, but they are to untasteful to mention. Families really do have problems and this play illustrated this. In this the example was that Willy had to resolve his long term bad relationship with his son, Biff. " The movie that this play reminds me of would have to be a small made for television only movie called "The Red Door. People get old and begin to do odd things such as talk to people that are not there or people that only exists in their minds. In the play Willy's son Biff has a resentment towards his father because he commited adultery. When the father and son grow up there is a strong animosity between them that might make there relationship be lost forever. The word usage for the dialect were elementary and some untasteful words were expressed. I believe the point that he was trying to emphasize was to never give up and all the barriers in the way will be broken. Throughout the play Willy would have conversations with people that he believed were there, but they really were not. y that most books and movies do not display.
