Document Summary
Stanley is an immigrant and out of place yet he is completely at home. His son had a disability and he put his son in special care. Willy is at home and exactly how he is supposed to be yet he feels he"s failed. They got a divorce and she od"d a year later. Miller wanted-> a head of a person (cid:523)willy"s(cid:524) so that we are actually stuck in his. We want to escape willy"s tragic failure of a life consciousness. The stage directions are extremely significant and in-depth. Themes of: being liked, popular, getting ahead, always looking for more, dissatisfaction and relationships (public relations) (cid:498)survival of the fittest(cid:499): the terms have changed. Like with biff (34 years old and not having a set job or path) People are only valuable if they can do things for you-> he vilifies them if they do not do what he says. Right and wrong is not as easily distinguished.
