It's just another example of how an American talks about the States and talks brilliantly. The movie is also done well, and it's right that a European would do the book, so that everything can be shown without any bias.
A well-known script in both the literary and theatrical circles, I think the most powerful thing about it is that it shows very deep and complex character relationships and psychology with very limited characters. The best dramas are those that are touching but morally difficult to define, and I personally think such stories are closer to life. Life is not about the good and the bad, the good and the evil; life is often an indescribable discord, an unspeakable desire and struggle, and I have no deeper resonance for this. (Towel City)

Death of a Salesman quotes

  • Willy Loman: Walk in very serious. You are not applying for a boy's job. Money is to pass. Be quiet, fine, and serious. Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.

  • Willy Loman: Walk in with a big laugh. Don't look worried. Start off with a couple of your good stories to lighten things up. It's not what you say, it's how you say it - because personality always wins the day.
