"Death of a Salesman" is a play by Arthur Miller that tells the story of Willy Loman, an aging salesman struggling to achieve the American Dream. He believes that success comes from being well-liked, but his life is filled with disappointment and unfulfilled dreams. As he faces the reality of his failures, Willy's mental state deteriorates, leading him to question his worth and purpose.
The play also explores the relationships between Willy and his family, particularly with his sons, Biff and Happy. Biff grapples with his father's expectations and his own identity, while Happy seeks validation through superficial success. Ultimately, the story highlights the pressures of societal expectations and the tragic consequences of chasing an unattainable dream.
