Pros: Compelling story, engrossing characters, readable dialog
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: A compelling character study typical of Miller, this exemplary work became a perennial favorite of the American theatre and a symbol of both our dreams and our faults.

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: In Death Of a Salesman, Arthur Miller tries to show how The American Dream puts too high a value on material possessions, and career success. Often, these things become so important to people that they lose sight of what is really important, such as...

Pros: Deep meaning
Cons: Maybe a little too short
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I just finished Death of a Salesman, and although it is short, it contains a powerful punch. Arthur Miller really did a superb job on this play. Who in this world is able to brag that he created the "Willy Loman"? It is part of our vocabulary.
