At what cost?

Double winner of New York Drama Critics

3. Miller’s Legal Troubles
Suspected of being a Communist
sympathizer
Death seen as un-American
Miller has troubles with the
HUAC/McCarthy
1953 - Miller denied a passport
1955 - HUAC pressures NYC not to
allow Miller to make a film for them on
juvenile delinquency
4. The Saga Continues...
1957 - Miller convicted of contempt of
Congress for refusing to name names
And then...
1958 - US Court of Appeals overturns
his contempt conviction
5. Miller’s Assertions
Death is not a “document of
pessimism.”
Death is not un-American; it celebrates
the life of Willy Loman.
Miller believes that tragedy is
“inherently optimistic.”
6. From Classical Tragedy
Unity of time -- the
final 24 hours in
Willy’s life
Unity of action - the
play is complete
unto itself
the tragic hero…with
a twist
7. Also from Classical Tragedy
the hero’s traits, esp. being a mixture of
good and bad and being of higher moral
worth than others in society
the concept of the hero’s flaw
the hero’s capacity to willingly endure
suffering
the catharsis of the audience
8. Initial Themes
Addresses family conflict in post World War II
America
Takes a close look at the price paid for the
“American Dream”
Charges America with creating a capitalist
materialism centered around a postwar
economy
This materialism skewed the original view of
the “American Dream” as envisioned by the
founding fathers
9. Death of a Salesman and the
American Dream
Death of a Salesman is considered by many to be the
quintessential modern literary work on the American dream, a term
created by James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book, The Epic of
America. This is somewhat ironic, given that it is such a dark and
frustrated play. The idea of the American dream is as old as
America itself: the country has often been seen as an empty
frontier to be explored and conquered. Unlike the Old World, the
New World had no social hierarchies, so a man could be whatever
he wanted, rather than merely having the option of doing what his
father did.
The American Dream is closely tied up with the literary works
of another author, Horatio Alger. This author grew famous through
his allegorical tales which were always based on the rags-to-riches
model. He illustrated how through hard work and determination,
penniless boys could make a lot of money and gain respect in
America.
10. Themes in Death
Willy Loman as a modern tragic hero
An individual’s search for meaning and
purpose in life (not Willy, but Biff)
failure in pursuit of success
Man’s need to “leave a thumbprint
somewhere in the world.”
An examination of the materialistic
values of society
11. More themes in Death
The love of a father for a son and a son
(Biff) for a father
The conflict between father and son
The question of who shall wield the
power?
the problem of communication
12. Add: Themes
Abandonment: The not-so-positive
transient nature of mankind
Betrayal: Willy’s primary obsession
(Biff)
13. Symbols
Seeds: opportunity for growth, but will not
always germinate.
Diamonds: Material & tangible wealth
The Woman’s Stockings: betrayal and
infidelity.
The Rubber Hose: Suicide
Alaska, Africa…The American West:
success and failure
14. Characteristics of the Tragic Hero
"A man doesn't become a hero until he can see the root of
his own downfall."
~Aristotle
Six Characteristics of the Tragic Hero:
Nobility or wisdom (by birth)
A flaw or error of judgment (Hamartia)
A reversal of fortune (perepetia)
The discovery or recognition that the reversal was
brought about by the hero's own actions (anagnorisis)
The audience must feel dramatic irony for the
character.
The character's fate must be greater than deserved.
15. A few key traits of the T.H.
Usually evokes empathy…
Has a weakness, usually pride
Something has gone awry in his/her life
Usually faced with a very serious decision he
must make
Noble in nature
Must understand his mistakes…
Likely doomed from the start…
Begins his “journey” as no better or worse
than the rest of us…
16. The Common Man as Hero
Miller’s thoughts:
“Everyone knows Willy Loman.”
(allusion to the morality play,
Everyman.)
“The common man is suitable for a
tragic hero.”
Willy is meant to be seen as greater
and better (at least in potential) than his
society.
17. Miller’s Modern Tragedy
The hero is a common man.
The hero struggles against society.
The hero meets his downfall.
The downfall is a result of an
incongruity between his own perception
of the world and reality.
The hero achieves a kind of redemption
in his downfall.
18. Act 1
An air of the dream clings to the place, a
dream rising out of reality.

28. WILLY: I'm not interested in stories about the past or
any crap of that kind because the woods are burning,
boys, you understand? There's a big blaze going on
all around. I was fired today.
BIFF (shocked): How could you be?
WILLY: I was fired, and I'm looking for a little good
news to tell your mother, because the woman has
waited and the woman has suffered. The gist of it is
that I haven't got a story left in my head, Biff. So
don't give me a lecture about facts and aspects. I am
not interested. Now what've you got so say to me?
(from Death of a Salesman)
