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.
