The Pulitzer Prizewinning tragedy of a salesmans deferred American dream, presented here with enlightening commentary and criticismWilly Loman, the protagonist of Death of a Salesman, has spent his life following the American way, living out his belief in salesmanship as a way to reinvent himself. But somehow the riches and respect he covets have eluded him. At age 63, he searches for the moment his life took a wrong turn, the moment of betrayal that undermined his relationship with his wife and destroyed his relationship with Biff, the son in whom he invested his faith. Willy lives in a fragile world of elaborate excuses and daydreams, conflating past and present in a desperate attempt to make sense of himself and of a world that once promised so much.Since it was first performed in 1949, Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prizewinning drama about the tragic shortcomings of an American dreamer has been recognized as a milestone of the theater.
