some attack the problem directly. In Willys case,
he deals with his life as a general failure, which
leads to his dismay, and relationship with
everyone around him. Willy never really faced his
problems; in fact instea...

basic goodness and authority, has a tragic flaw,

Elements Of Reality In Death A Salesman
994 words
Never does one go through their life without
having to deal with some sort of personal
conflict. The manner in which people deal with
these conflicts vary as much as the prints on a
person's finger. Some try and solve the problem
and get rid of it, while others will try and put
it aside for as long as possible. Willy Loman's
method in Arthur Miller's play, The Death of a
Salesman, is very dangerous and builds to harsh
results. Willy never tries to help the
circumstances, he only flees to his gre...

General Review Of The Music Man Musical

Upon viewing Meredith Willsons The Music Man, I
made a pact with myself, never to go see another
musical again, or at least not pay for one. I dont
want to discredit the Department of Theatre or
anyone else involved, for I believe they worked
hard and put on a great performance. This being
the most professional play that Ive seen, besides
a couple in grade school, I find it hard to
believe one would attend a musical, unless they
were expected to write a paper about it. The Music
Man left me lost...

Considered A Hero Willy Loman
489 words
A large controversy that revolves around the play
Death of a Salesman is whether or not Willy Loman
was actually a hero or a villain in the story. It
certainly cannot be said that he is really one or
the other because of the evidence that is given
throughout. At some times he seems the pitiful
victim of other peoples actions but at others he
seems to have only himself to blame. Most dont
know whether to feel sorry for him or to hate him.
Although there seems to be evidence to support
both ideas,...

They were all at their sexual prime and to do a

to do was sleep, but the much larger female spider
flighty and talkative. She wanted to talk of their
recent sexual experience, but the male was far too

Willy Loman Felt Guilty

Death of a Salesman Is Willy Loman a hero or a
villain? Willy could not be possibly thought as a
hero. There are arguments that support both
arguments of Willy being a hero or a villain, but
most of them support Willy as being a villain.
Willy did not have the friends and contacts that
he claimed and emphasized his boys to have. Most
of his life became a lie to him and his family.
Willy commits many faults that categorize him as a
villain. The most important fault was the affair.
He might have n...

Death Of A Salesman Loman Family

Death of a Salesman by Kyle Pearce All throughout
Arthur Miller s play Death of a Salesman, tension
and falseness has been displayed by each of the
characters but near the end of Act 1, it has
become more evident than ever. The family, awoken
by Willy in the middle of the night, gathered in
the kitchen for their first confrontation. Each
character in the play hides their real
personalities and emotions, which creates chaos
because they do not really know their own family
or themselves. Therefore...

Gregor Traveling Salesman

Franz Kafka was different, a man bent on
portraying changes everywhere. Kafka was also a
man consumed by death, consumed by the fact that
he might eventually die. One man who was greatly
affected by his fathers negligence of him, and a
social deviance about him which held him back from
interaction. Such a man was so afraid about what
society thought of his writing, that he never
widely published his works, and even asked a
friend to burn all manuscripts. Not only was Kafka
Jewish, he resented th...
