ARTHUR MILLER: DEATH OF A SALESMAN

Acknowledged, along with Tennessee Williams, as one of the two greatest American dramatists of the post world war II era, Arthur Miller (1915-2005) synthesizes elements from social and psychological realism to depict the individual’s search for identity within a society that inhibits such endeavors. His best known play, Death of a Salesman depicts the mental deterioration of Willy Loman, a salesman whose superficial doctrine for success turns into tragedy when he realise that he is no longer wanted by his company. The present critical study explores and examines the play primarily from the perspective of the students in Indian universities and abroad.
