Death of a Salesman: A reflection
Most plays articulate what happens in the society. In Death of Salesman, there is a
reflection of the problems faced in America. Willy Loman is a protagonist in the play and was
willing to undertake any move to become successful. That is the plate of fear that the society
presents, which later ruin people's lives, as seen in the case of Willy. Most people, just like Willy
Loman, think money is the solution to their problems. That is an unrealistic expectation, with the
result being frustrations. Money should only be, but a means to meet an outcome. Having a
passion for something is critical in making life bearable.
Willy is like most people in the society driven by greed. These people are willing to
commit a crime just to get to the top. Nevertheless, such people get nothing at the end. Being
content is critical for happiness. Human beings should understand how they can contribute
positively to the universe rather than expecting monetary benefits. When Willy got fired, he
never wanted to take full responsibility and instead dragged Lind into the ploy (Miller 45). That
denotes a sadistic personality and is common among most people in the society, and America to
be precise. George Bush, for instance, made a poor decision for his good and that leaves America
torn into pieces. Even though he is gone, the society can still feel the pinch.
