.... shows how Willy is incapable of handling situations and being the great man he claims to be. The conversation between Willy and Linda reflects Willy's disappointment in Biff and what he has become, which is, for the most part, a bum. After failing to deal adequately with his feelings, he escapes into a time when things were better for his family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems t .....

WIILY: You’re on. We’ll drive right back
BIFF: Oh, Dad, good work! I’m sure he’ll change it for you!. See, the reason he hates me, Pop-one day he was late for class so I got up at the blackboard and imitated him. I crossed my eyes and talked with a lithp.
WILLY: laughing: You did? The kids like it?
I really found this conversation to show the exact prob .....

4. The setting of the story is in the New England territory and is changing all the time. In the beginning of the play Willy is just getting home from a vacation in Florida.

.... not blame Willy for what he has done to himself because "its a rough world"(page 139). Charley says Willy is "a man riding on a smile and a shoeshine," meaning if he "puts on a smile" for his customers and they do not "smile" back at him, his ego is ruined. The world does not blame Willy; it knows how hard it is to be a salesman in these troubled times. Thus, the society in which they live values Willy's attempts for success but feel pity for him because he never stood a chance with the road he too .....

.... ship them out.” That is a passage from the play and is a very important scene, where the truth comes out about what the two men did. In a state of panic, the men let defective parts which went into airplanes be shipped to the Army. They were used, causing the death of 21 men.

Analysis
.... In "Metamorphosis," Gregor had a slow and painful death. First, he began to lose his vision. Second, the apple that his father had thrown at him began to rot. He was also cut by a piece of glass from a bottle of alcohol, which made him bleed heavily. On his way home from getting cut, he gets stuck in the door. All of these occurrences and descriptions suggest what Kafka thought of. They suggest a slow a painful death, or maybe even Kafka's own death. In addition to his descriptions, he also d .....

What is at work in man is a divine reason immanent in man’s soul. Somehow man is connected to and shares in divine reason. A distinction must be made here. We are not saying that the human soul’s capacity to grasp universals is in some way a maker or shares in the pure act of God, but that without this divine reason at work in the s .....

.... not
make it genuinely available to Willy. Miller seems to use this
dream merely to give himself an opportunity for sentimentality.
The play is ambiguous in its attitude toward the business-success
dream, but does not certainly condemn it. It is legitimate to ask
where Miller is going. And the answer is that he has written a
confused play because he has been unwilling or unable to commit
himself to a firm position with respect to American culture. Miller
prepares us for stock response-reli .....

An Occurence At Owl Creek Brid
.... in our lives. I have been running away from things often in my life. Never had I been in a life and death situation like Farqhuar but still it is not a good and easy situation to handle.
The ending as sad as it is brings out the truth. One can never be safe forever. Eventually we will get caught no matter where we run too. In Farqhuar's situation he fled far from danger, but was caught right on the driveway of his own home, how ironic. Farqhuar was afraid to die. He avoided death throughout the whole s .....

.... he began to write and realised many more things about Thomas More, which had drawn him to the 16th century character. One of the things that Bolt found out was More’s sense of self. He remarks on this on page 12 of the preface. “At any rate, Thomas More, as I wrote about him, became for me a man with an adamantine sense of his own self.” Robert Bolt went back to this era long past because of that trait but it was as he wrote about him that he discovered just how strong his sense of identity was.

.... makes us pity, a born loser, and show us how our own system is flawed through his failures.
With Linda, Miller moves from the business aspect of the American Dream, to that of the family. Linda is the near perfect American housewife. She is the nucleus of the family, the point at which love is given, and received, the woman who suffers and endures, and in her ironic complexity, the destroyer of both Willy and Biff. She accepts Willy’s greatness and dream, but does not allow him to leave with .....
