international,fame,and become one of the major achievements of modern American theatre.It relates the,tragic story,of a salesman named,Willy,Loman,whose past and present are mingled in expressionistic scenes.,Loman,is not the great success that he claims to be to his family and friends.The postwar economic boom has shaken up his life.He is eventually fired and he begins to hallucinate about significant events from his past.,Linda,his wife,believes in the,American Dream,but she also keeps her feet on the ground.Deciding that he is worth more dead than alive,Willy,kills himself,in his

the altar of the American Dream.,Death of a Salesman,The script indicates that the rules of social life in America is Losers havent rights to survive.Willie didnt succeed,so he had to go to his doom.Willie had been sure that he was supposed to succeed,but he didnt know the society and himself well.He was hungry for life happiness which had already been deprived by the civilized society.The only thing he could do was watching the end of all his hopes.He passed on his unrealized dreams to his next generation,but this put them into much trouble in spirit.For his unrealized dreams could not point the way to success,but mislead them or have bad effects on them.Therefore,his sons turned into useless playboys,and the next generation was incorrigible.The composition goes against the theory American Legend through the failures of two generations.It has succeeded in structural arrangement,space-time processing,characterization and complex emotions description.,When this American drama premiered in 1949,Death of a Salesman was an instant success and secured Arthur Millers place as one of the great American playwrights of the 20th century.Considered both an attack on the ideals that had,for the last 160 years,constituted the American dream for prosperity and material wealth as well as a compelling portrayal of a man trapped by his past,Death of a Salesman manages the most delicate of balances.The play is an authentic and realistic portrayal of family in the middle of the twentieth century,but its also a deeply symbolic,expressionistic drama.,Themes,The American
