Death of a Salesman

The Inside of His Head.

However, Arthur Miller's friends convinced him that it wasn't a very good title for his play about the weary life and unfortuante death of a salesman.

When Willy and Linda purchased their home, the neighborhood was quieter than they now find it. The house was surrounded by space and sunlight. Willy was a young man with ambitious hopes for the future, and his house represented a space in which he could expand his dreams. In the present, the house is hemmed in on all sides by apartment units. Willy is a much older man, and his chances of achieving his dreams are much slimmer. His home now represents the reduction of his hopes. There is less room to expand, and the sunlight does not even reach into his yard. In the past, the house was the site of hopeful departure and triumphant return. Willy would set out each week to make a load of money. When he returned, his worshipful sons greeted him, and he whispered into their eager ears his hopes to open his own business. Now, the house is the site of Willy's frustrated ambitions. When the play opens, Willy returns to his home a defeated man, unable to complete his latest business trip, and with his argument with Biff left unresolved.

Yes. In 1996 he did a multi-city tour of the play. The only reason I know is that my dad was supposed to be in the production but had a stroke 6 weeks before rehearsals. Seems to be some info at this website: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67764402.html

He questioned their validity

Arthur Miller won the Tony Award for his work in Death of a Salesman.

linda, the wife of Willy and mother of Biff and Happy in the death of a salesman was a typical house hold woman. She was the peace maker in the house. She really fits the stereotype of a woman at that period. This reminds me about back home in Gambia (West Africa), half of the married women are subjected to the same house hold role Linda played. Most ordinary housewives are always faithful to their husbands like Linda. for erxample, Willy, darlind, you're the handsomest man in the world." Despite Willy treated her as an inferior wife, sometimes neglects her, but she still love him uncondiyionally

The dialouge of Willy's brother benard who "walked into the jungle and come out rich" represents who Willy should have gone with his brother but his fustrating self he likes to be independent and therefore he can't take help from anyone else. The references in the play to the + represents Willy believes that there is heaven or a better afterlife

The Requiem in Death of a Salesman corresponds to what Aristotle calls the "Scene of Suffering" in his Poetics. We see the results of Willy's suicide on the family and the division that has sprung up between the brothers. Happy has not learned the lesson and vows to continue is Willy's footsteps. Biff sees where Willy went wrong and determines to live his life differently, while Linda suffers without understanding the reason for Willy's senseless suicide.

Howard Wagner, the son of Willy Loman's long-time boss, inherited the company from his father and is Willy's current boss.
