Death of a Salesman-Who is Willy Loman

As we start our study of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman there are questions we need to consider.

Who is Willy Loman and why should we care about what happens to him. This link is a good place to start.

Salesman’ Willy Loman: A Towering Little Man

Once you’ve listened to this write a reaction to anything you heard? Do you see Willy anywhere. Think about this quote:

“A salesman does have to dream. … Because you have to see something that isn’t there, and you have to make it happen. … You have to have the ability to believe in yourself enough to go out there and make it happen.”

Gregory Hamilton

Does this mean that you’ll have to learn how to be a salesman? Is this the future you see for yourself?
