    Death of a Salesman

    In Death of a Salesman, the quiet tragedy of the American Dream unfolds through the fractured life of Willy Loman—a man chasing success with empty hands and fading hope. Haunted by memory and illusion, he wanders the wreckage of his past, measuring his worth in missed opportunities and imagined glory. As family and reality close in, the question echoes: what remains of a man who stakes his identity on a dream that never loved him back? Miller crafts a sorrowful, aching portrait of ambition, delusion, and the cost of needing to matter. This is not just the story of one salesman’s downfall—it is a mirror held to a society that sells identity for applause.
