Arthur Miller once said he wrote plays for people who didn't go to the theater. In "Death of a Salesman," pehaps his greatest play, Miller examines the life of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman at the end of his career, so wrought with regret, he lives in a theater of his own worst memories. After returning exhausted from a unsuccessful trip, Loman begins to break down under the burdens he carries: twenty years of secret affairs, his eldest son's terrific failure, and a lifetime of burned bridges and missed opportunities. Unable to find other work and incapable of accepting the modest successes in his life -- keeping a family together, finishing off a mortage -- Willy insists on measuring himself against an impossible yardstick and punishes himself by reliving the baleful trajectory of his life.
