Death of a Salesman

Willy Loman is a man who believes with every ounce of himself in the American dream, after being inspired by the ?death of a salesman.? Willy longs to follow in the footsteps of Dave Singleman, a salesman who died acquiring all that Willy thought significant to achieve happiness in life. However, Willy?s prime goal of one day acquiring all that Mr. Singleman died with is not the life he thinks it to be and …

…goals and fails to see all of the great things he has in life. This play truly is tragic because he ends his own life trying to accomplish something that really was not all that important. Willy looks for happiness in far away goals when the things that really could bring him happiness like working with his tools and loving his family, and having them return his love is right in front of his eyes.
