Read on Death of a Salesman Study Guide Contrast Film and Text: Death of A Salesman 2008 Stratford Shakespeare Festival Studio Shows The Form of The Play Death of a Salesman is a tragedy, which offers a counter view of the classic definition of tragedy by which an audience witnesses the downfall of a great man. Willy Loman air jordans, the eponymous salesman, is an everyman, in fact he is a ‘low man’ jordans sneakers, as Miller indicates with the character’s name. It is often espoused that Miller is a supporter of socialism and therefore this play air jordans sneakers, like much of his other work, All My Sons to name but one example, is a critique of capitalist America. Characters in Death of a Salesman The play has the feel of a stream of consciousness, the audience is constantly shifted through different time periods, and much of the play is told from the perspective of Willy Loman. There are often characters that only Willy is able to see. This adds to an audience’s sympathy for the character, but it also serves to illustrate Willy’s ever decreasing mental state. The play premiered in February 1949 and ran for 742 performances. It has since become an American classic. The play examines the fall of an American household through the protagonist’s misinterpretation of both himself and of the ingredients to success. Death of a Salesman tells the story of a man who is approaching the end of his life and discovers that he was striving for unreachable goals. In fact, Miller suggests that Loman’s aims do not even exist. Miller undoubtedly questions the validity of the American dream and challenges a world in which an ageing salesman is financially worth more dead than alive. The play consists of five primary characters; the aforementioned Willy Loman, who in his middle age has lost the knack of clinching sales and seems to be becoming increasingly senile. Linda Loman is Willy’s wife; it could be argued that Linda’s role in the play is to enable Willy in his pursuit of the unattainable. It seems that she does nothing to steer him away from his self-destructive path. Death of a Salesman's First Run Ben Loman is Willy’s brother. He has recently died, so we are only offered glimpses of him in the flashback sequences of the play and in Willy’s hallucinations. Ben has made a fortune through diamond mining in South Africa. He represents the example to which Willy is trying to live up to. |
