What is the Relevance of the title death of a salesman?

the title "death of a salesman" on a basic level means that a salesman will die, and this would most probably be willy. this also shows who willy was, the man willy looked up to most was Dave Singleman, a very successful salesman. when willy describes his death he said Dave Singleman "died the death of a salesman" the word "the" shows this was definite, or the right way to die. the title of the play however shows that willy was a nobody, death of a salesman, not even death of the salesman. this title is just a reference to a hard working salesman that never quite made it. this is also possibly a reference to the American dream "if you work hard you will be rewarded" where an ironic twist of fate means a hardworking man is never recognised.
