Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman has been justly celebrated as one of the most famous dramatisations of the failure of the American Dream, but its moral and political purpose is perfectly counterbalanced by a powerful and moving human drama of a man trying to make his way in the world and of the human flaws that lead to the shattering of his family and of their idol.
