Arthur Miller was an American playwright whose criticism of problems outlined his genius. Miller's best known work is Death of a Salesman and in this article I will cover many different aspects of this literary work. Having been born on October 17, 1915 in Harlem, New York, Arthur Miller grew up in a semi-upper class home until his family lost almost everything in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. In the play Death of a Salesman he explores the obstacles and differences between the dreams of a New York family and the reality of their lives. The show is a criticism of the American dream and the American materialist society of the late 1940s. The play includes the main character Willy Loman who is an average guy who tries to hide. In the play "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller, the author focuses on the theme of failure in a successful company. Willy Lowman is the central character whose only problem is believing that there is only room in society for winners. The theme of the play shows how a victim of the "American Dream" can be destroyed by false promises that affect work life and even problems in personal relationships. The importance of this theme is relevant to many societies today, Miller's skill in using different techniques includes setting, characterization and symbolism, the play takes place within the Loman house. This setting is contrasted with the vastness of the American West, Alaska and Africa. The Loman house symbolizes restriction, both physical and mental. Willy thinks New York is a land of opportunity and abundant success. Overall, Death of aMiller has created Willy's wife, Linda, in such a way that it is quite difficult to say whether she is a positive or destructive person. It's hard to understand the love Linda has for Willy. She sees herself as his protector, allowing him to feel satisfaction. Willy's lifelong desire has been to break out of his social class. As a result, he loses his mind and understanding of reality. Willy believes that success comes from being well-liked and popular and has desperately tried to instill his ideas in his two boys Happy and Biff, Willy's greatest aspirations in life. His wife Linda is extremely supportive and is Willy's only connection to reality. As he raises his boys and tries to instill his "American Dream", he fails to teach them any sense of morality, leading them down what he believes is the wrong path. At one point he defends Biff from theft charges only because he was an amazing football player. "Loaded with everything. Loaded! What is he stealing? He's giving it back, isn't he? . As such, Happy is a difficult character to empathize with. He is one-dimensional and static throughout the play. Linda and Charley serve as forces of reason throughout the play. Linda is probably the most enigmatic and complex character in Death of a Salesman, or even in all of Miller's
