Gardner, Janet E., Lawn, Beverly, Ridl, Jack and Schakel, Peter. The only thing which they should do is to live their own lives and success will come.
People should not try to achieve something which seems unreachable for them, people should not look at the neighbors’ achievements and be jealous. To have a job that you love (and Willy used to love his job) is also a success. I am inclined to think that having a good family with a devoted wife and loving children is a success. Success is the achievement, the personal achievement. Success is not just money, not just the level of financial income. Not all people are eager to live a life where they are loved and respected, where his/her actions are a great help for others. To be loved, to be respected is also a success. Success is not just a good financial position. Let me introduce my point of view about success. But Willy was dead and could not feel free about that. Willy’s dream about financial success has been fulfilled: the last payment for the house was provided and they were free. Willy had to dream, it was his nature, but the problem came out that the dream was wrong. A salesman has got to dream” (Gardner 2008). Willy regrets the time which he cannot change, he thinks that his life is worth nothing and kills himself.Īfter Willy’s death, his wife and sons think about the reasons for it. Willy is inclined to think that only triumph and glamour may make him successful. He asks himself, “Why did not I go to Alaska with my brother Ben that time!” (Gardner 2008). He remembers all people who gained at least some financial success in life. Willy longed for everybody who achieved financial success. Life was coming through and he managed to achieve nothing as he thinks.įrom one day to the other, occupied by his thoughts, Willy loses his mind. The play by Arthur Miller is Willy Loman’s remembering of his life. He used to love his job, but now, having appeared at the end of his life he starts to think about what he has achieved.
The family has some problems with money and Willy suffers that he cannot help.
This is a man of sixty who comes from his work, where he was a salesman and the only thing which he managed to earn is the small commission. Willy Loman, the main character of the play “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller, is a man of the second type. Such people think that if they did not reach the position of/her rich neighbor, so he/she is a loser, a failure. They work, but not so hard, the only thing they do is the thinking about people who gained some success and are jealous of them. And there is another type of people who do nothing. There are two types of people: those who do all they can to achieve some success, who work hard and at last achieve success.
