Good evening gents,

I'm struggling a little with my Drama assignment. I'm looking for someone to explain some of the themes and ideologies a little more clearly than my borderline-retarded teacher.

Anyone help a brother out?

tl;dr HALP WITH ASSIGNMENT

Yeah i've talked about those a bit. Was looking for substantial evidence in the play, like examples of it in a theatrical production, if any anons have seen one.

Symbolism and whatnot.

Death of a Salesman - Death of the goods he sells

Lack of material goods - Lack of material world

Biff is the Anti-Christ. Happy is the second coming of Jesus taking us to the great beyond. Willy is the common layman seeking eternal paradise.

How is Biff the anti-christ?
Also, that eternal paradise is representative in the American dream right? With the issue of classism?

Biff takes what Willy failed at and becomes successful with it. He is the common man but on a pillar of perfection. He is not a holy man or of God but only a deception.

Willy Loman spends his whole life seeking paradise through capitalism and the American dream but only ends up broken. By investing his life in the material world, he has lost what is truly important; God and the world of faith.

Wow, I completely missed that. What's the idea with that guy who pops up and speaks in cliches?

>> No.768628

You know what? I feel bad. I was completely pulling all of that out of my ass. I was trolling and I did it too well. Ignore everything I wrote about the Anti-Christ and the second coming of Jesus. Though Willy Loman's lack of faith could be a strong point. You could work on that.

And by the guy who speaks in cliches you mean Willy's brother? Willy uses him as an example of a successful business man. He projects everything he's ever heard about the American dream and being successful onto the memory of his brother in order to validate his ideals even though they've caused him to fail horribly in his life.

Would have given the teacher a few decent lols. -___-

Cheers for being a moral-fag btw. Guess I'll just wing this shit!
