CC Death of Salesman – Critical Thinking

In the play Death of Salesman, I wonder what drove Willy to think the way he did on life, did he not learn from his failures? I think Willy just wanted to have a good life, but along the way on achieving his American Dream, he picked up a crave for success, and feeling successful. He wanted a good life, but forgot what that meant, he was brainwashed by success. He forgot why he wanted to be successful.

CC Death of Salesman-Positive Personal & Cultural Identity

In Death of Salesman play, Willy’s Personal Value and choice was to be successful, rich and to achieve the American Dream. Culturally people wanted to be viewed as successful, Willy wasted his whole life chasing a dream, that was culturally desirable. But it actually led to Willy digging himself into a big hole. Success and Money was the vision, sadness was the reality.
