Plot, characterization, and dialogue are the elements of the drama 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 the driving force of 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 angers Willy by not having a stable job and not living up to what his father thinks he 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 other than work as a farmhand with his life. Death of a Salesman is a play in tragedy form that focuses on the relationship between Willy and his son Biff. The main character is Willy Loman, a sixty-three-year-old salesman who believes his life is full of failures and missed opportunities to succeed. He often has hallucinations of happier past memories where he remembers that time. Willy's mind seems filled with illusions and he struggles to determine what is real and what he wishes was real. There are times when he talks to himself and chats with his deceased brother, Ben. During the hallucinations, when 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 he seems to focus more on Biff. He seemed angry that Biff wasn't doing more with his life. Willy Loman, the aging salesman, is exhausted to the point of collapse from his many years on the road. But he remains a strong believer in capitalist values ​​and has a transfer... middle of paper... embraced by him and forgiven. In this he receives, so to speak, existence, his fatherhood, for which he has always fought and which he has not been able to achieve until now. (Miller 1677) My final thoughts on Death of a Salesman and the plot is that Willy Loman lived in his own world. Talk to each other quite often, live in the past and dream of the future. He seems to focus only on success and what could have been, while living in regret. Even though he had two sons, he only focused on one, his eldest, Biff. He wanted Biff to have a successful life since he was a high school athlete with such a promising future and when that didn't happen, he felt guilty and responsible. So much so that he killed himself hoping it would give Biff a better future. Work Cited: Andersen, Richard. Arthur Miller. New York: Marshall Cavendish Benchmark, 2006. Print.
