Death of a Salesman

-I missed the first half of the film, but I did catch the rest && was very intrigued.

I think Willy Loman was a tragic character. He represented what Americans want && lose in the process. Willy had a dream of being prosperous and known. He wanted a much better life for his family and I think that drained his mentality. The character was sad and a tad off but made you realize what want does to you.

The rest of the family had characters you could really pick up on. It was obvious Biff really looked up to Willy and yet was scared of being him. I think that was what made the tension between them. Happy, well, he was just that. I didn't particularly like Willy's wife. She seemed domineering and maybe overbearing.

All in all though, this was a strange && tragic, yet interesting film. I enjoyed the intensity :))
