Book Reviews of Death of a Salesman (Penguin Plays)
Book Review: "All juniors will write a critical review..."
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a junior in high school, and we read 'Death of a Salesman' in our English class. I am torn between liking the story, overall, and hating the book because it is SO depressing. Part of my thesis for my review will probably have to do with Miller's central intent trying to show how an everyday person can be a tragic hero. I do not like Willy Loaman, I can say that much. It says that at the end of the book that he had the wrong dreams... I wonder how much happier they all would have been if Willy would have realized that selling was not for him, it was the physical work. Besides that, people who can't change to go with the system will get run down. Telling Howard (his boss) that he named him will not keep him his job. Where did he learn to be so unflexable? Biff I liked best at the end, when he realized what liers his entire family had been. I just feel a little sorry for Linda, she never got those stockings, but she never stood up for herself. Happy is a little lying jerk, and would probably turn out just like Willy. 'Death of a Salesman' was an extremely well-written play, but it was just so depressing (if you like that kind of stuff, then this book is for you!).
