| Resumen |
EVER SINCE IT WAS PERFORMED IN 1949 : DEATH OF A SALESMAN HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A MILESTONE OF THE AMERICAN THEATER. IN THE PERSON OF WILLY LOMAN, THE AGING, FAILING SALESMAN WHO MAKES HIS LIVING RIDING ON A SMILE AND A SHOESHINE, ARTHUR MILLER REDEFINED THE TRAGIC HERO AS A MAN WHOSE DREAMS ARE INSUPPORTABLY VAST AND DANGEROUSLY INSUBSTANTIAL. HIS PLAY COMPRESSES EPIC EXTREMES OF HUMOR AND ANGUISH, PROMISE AND LOSS, BETWEEN THE FOUR WALLS OF AN AMERICAN LIVING ROOM. |
