Death of a Salesman, a play in “two acts and a requiem” by Arthur Miller, was written in 1948 and produced in 1949. Miller won a Pulitzer Prize for the work, which he described as “the tragedy of a man who gave his life or sold it” in pursuit of the American dream. It’s a play about the struggle for success and disappointment. It addresses loss of identity and a man’s inability to accept change within himself and society. The play is a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations, and arguments, all of which make up the last 24 hours of Willy Loman’s life.
