magduna 's review for:
Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
Reading through the one-star reviews of this book I can understand how the story and its message are not something extraordinary. Some may take into account Miller's background and how his life was rather peaceful and how he maybe didn't face such strong tragedies himself, so how would he understand Willy's perspective? And yea he didn't really give much voice to his female characters in this piece (but he definitely made up for it by giving a voice to the real Marilyn Monroe later).
Despite all that, I absolutely loved it. It was my first time reading him and I am also not used to reading plays but I devoured this one and it made me feel a LOT. I also thought it was interesting how someone once said he wasn't confrontational at all in real life, but he let it all out in his plays.
I found it really surprising how the play was not hard to read at all, given the fact that small bits from the past keep interfering with the present action during the whole play. I plan on watching it filmed on stage soon, as I am really curious of how everything takes place.
