Plot, characterization and dialogue are the dramatic elements that I chose to analyze for Death of a Salesman. Willy seems to be in conflict with himself and everyone else in his life. The conflict is what drives the plot and will be the main element of the drama analyzed in this essay. In Death of a Salesman Willy is the protagonist and his son Biff is the antagonist. He provokes Willy's anger by not having a stable job that is up to what his father feels it should be. The plot of Death of a Salesman is dialogue-driven, and the theme of the play is the death of Willy's career and his inability to succeed in life. He also hopes that Biff will do something more with his life than work as a farm laborer. Death of a Salesman is a play in the form of a tragedy focusing on the relationship between Willy and his son Biff. The main character is Willy Loman, a sixty-three-year-old salesman who feels his life is full of failures and missed opportunities to succeed. He often hallucinates happier memories from the past in which he recalls those times. Willy's mind seems to be full of illusions and he has difficulty determining what is real and what he wishes was real. There are moments when he talks to himself and converses with his deceased brother Ben. During the hallucinations where Willy talks to Ben it seems like he wants to be like Ben who was rich and successful. Willy has two sons, Biff and Happy but seems to focus more on Biff. He seemed angry that Biff wasn't doing more with his life. Willy Loman, the elderly salesman, is worn to the point of collapse by many years spent on the road. But he remains a firm believer in capitalist values ​​and has moved... middle of paper... embraced and forgiven by him. In this he is given, so to speak, his existence, his paternity, which he has always aimed for and which he has so far failed to realize. (Miller 1677) My final thoughts on Death of a Salesman and the plot are that Willy Loman lived in his own world. He often talks to himself, lives in the past and dreams of the future. He seems to focus only on success and what could have been, living with regrets. Even though he had two sons, he only focused on one, the eldest, Biff. He wanted Biff to have a successful life since he was the high school athlete with such a promising future and when that didn't happen he felt guilty and responsible. So much so that he took his own life hoping that this would give Biff a better future. Work Cited: Andersen, Richard. Arthur Miller. New York: Marshall Cavendish Benchmark, 2006. Print.
