Summary: Willie Roman is a traveling salesman. He always believed that pleasing and persisting was his career.

It is also the key to the success of the Lord. His idol is salesman David Singman. He lived in a hotel until he was 84 years old.

You can make a deal by making a phone call in the shop. After his death, many buyers and colleagues buried him in New England.

Sadness and glory. Now Willie is 63 years old and has been engaged in sales promotion for 34 years. He opened a business for his boss in New England in his early years.

I have made great contributions to the establishment of the website, and now I am old, weak and sick, and I can't sell my goods and earn commission.

But all kinds of expenses at home should be paid on time, such as housing installment, insurance premium and so on. Economic burden, species

This mental burden and long-distance driving made Willie exhausted and insane. He often sees visions, especially not.

Focus on driving. I made a fortune in Africa before, but my long-dead brother often appeared.

Talk to him in front of him. The past and the present often appear alternately, which makes his speech incoherent. His wife Lin.

Linda is a kind and virtuous wife. Having shared his worries with him for decades, he has long found himself insane and suicidal.

But I'm afraid it will hurt his heart more, so there is nothing I can do. That night, Willie suddenly came home, Linda.

Tell him that Biff, the eldest son who has worked in the west for several years, is back, and Habi, the youngest son, is here, and wants them to be fathers.

Talk it over. Biff has always been Willie's hope. /kloc-he was a high school football star 0/4 years ago.

Many schools are vying to offer him scholarships, but Biff doesn't know what to do. He regarded his father as an idol,

But when he was about to graduate from middle school, he failed in math. To this end, he went to Boston to explain to his father. Unexpectedly,

I found my father hanging out with a woman in a hotel and gave her mother's stockings to each other. This discovery made Willie

His image in his mind plummeted, and Biff never recovered. He left home for the west before graduating from high school.

The department went. I've been hanging out for years, and I haven't hung out on my personal appearance. So far, I haven't had a formal career. I want to go back to my hometown in new york.

Here we go. Willie couldn't help getting angry when he saw his son like this. His son didn't want to be blamed and refuted, so

The two quarreled as before. In fact, Willie loves Biff and feels guilty for Biff. He mistakenly believes that.

Because Biff just doesn't work hard. If you work hard, you will succeed. Habib doesn't want to admit that he is a failure.

In fact, I regret not taking risks with my brother. But after all, he knows that hope can only be pinned on Biff, because

Although Habib is handsome, he is a prodigal son who can only make love with women. After a quarrel, Biff decided the next day.

Borrow some money from my former boss and open a sporting goods store with my brother. Willie believes that with capital, the two brothers must

Can succeed. He also agreed to his wife's suggestion, and asked his boss to give him an errand in new york without running far. for

In order to give his father a surprise, Biff left home early the next morning and asked his mother to tell his father. Father and son will be there that night.

At a restaurant dinner, a father and son were restored and a new beginning was celebrated. The next day, Willie found the boss, not only failed.

On the contrary, the messenger to new york was fired, and Willie had no choice but to borrow money from his old friend Charlie to pay the insurance premium.

Charlie has helped Willie financially many times. This time he promised him an excellent job, but Willie declined.

Take care. In the evening, Willie arrived at the hotel on time. Originally, his two sons wanted to hide from him how enthusiastic his old boss was.

Reception, but Biff can't stand Willie's cliche, so he has to make a full confession, saying that the boss made him sit for six hours.

After being benched, he pretended not to know him. Biff got angry and left with his golden pen. Biff also told

Su Weili, both of them are losers, but he insists on teaching Biff that he will succeed. Father and son

The three broke up in discord, and the two sons left with prostitutes, leaving Willie in the restaurant. Willie left the hotel and arrived.

The seed shop bought vegetable seeds and planted them in the back garden overnight. He knows that his life is worthless.

Die on earth. Now, the house payment has been paid, and his family can get 20 thousand yuan insurance after his death. Therefore,

He made up his mind to grow vegetables as a little compensation for his wife's guilt. Late at night, two sons came back,

Linda scolded them and tried to get rid of them. Biff also decided to leave home and never come back. he

I tearfully advised my father to face the reality and lose the illusion of success. Willie thinks he is still a child, and

He still needs himself. If he has a sum of money, he will succeed. So Willie's determination to die for them is even stronger.

The two sons have gone upstairs to sleep, but under Linda's repeated urging, Willie still won't go upstairs to sleep. See you again.

The late brother appeared and talked to him again. Later, he drove out. Willie's dead, Linda

At his grave, he said, "I don't understand. Why did you do this?" ..... I thought about it, but it never occurred to me.

I see. Willie, I paid the last room payment today, but no one is home, dear. We are free.

..... we are free ".

Appreciation of works: Death of a Salesman is a typical modern tragedy. It exposes a certain part of American society.

Some shortcomings shattered the myth that everyone can succeed. Willie Loman is a tragic character in the play. his

The tragedy lies in clinging to the wrong values and being unable to face the reality. He has lived in an illusory dream all his life.

Spend it and die for a wrong dream. Willie represents his class, and so does his tragedy.

The tragedy of a group of people who dream of success. As the name implies, he belongs to the lower class.

Layers of people. Willie has nothing. The salesman has no salary, only a commission. They're just selling other people's stuff.

Lucy, he believes that as long as people are likable and charming, the door of the world will open to him. He put his own

Life is based on such a dream. He admires David Singman because he can sell.

Very successful. He doesn't have to leave the hotel, he can make a deal by phone. There were so many buyers when he died at the age of 84.

His colleagues buried him. Because he always lives in his imaginary world and regards fantasy as reality, so

And often talk big. Although his sales promotion was unpopular, he boasted about how important he was in New England.

If you say how high your sales are, he will be caught in his own lies. In his early years, his

My brother advised him to get rich in Alaska, but his wife Linda said, "You didn't do very well in Warner."

Really? I hope to become a shareholder. "As a result, he missed this opportunity, and even at first Linda suggested that he ask the boss in the city to give it to him.

He can only refuse the office job because "he is very important in New England", but the fact is that the boss put

He was fired. When dealing with his eldest son Biff, he tried to instill that "as long as you are likable and charming, you can succeed"

He thought that in order to make biff unable to know himself correctly for a long time, he also tolerated biff's tendency to steal, which led to another one.

The tragedy of a generation. Willie's blindness made him jealous of his neighbor Charlie's success and turned down the job Charlie offered him.

Industry. He convinced Biff that his charm was enough for his old boss to lend him a large sum of money to start a business. Finally, when the ratio

When Dave helped him face the reality with tears in his eyes, he mistakenly thought that Biff finally accepted his point of view.

I needed him, so I decided to kill myself so that I could leave him some money. However, Willie's tragedy is not entirely caused by

The weakness of my own character is partly due to the shortcomings of American society itself. Willie finally found out,

He himself seems to have bought something on installment. If you pay off, things will be used up or broken.

He paid the last house payment, but he had to rest in his grave. In American society, people will get old.

Like an orange after eating, the skin is thrown away. However, the two sons he sacrificed for are not worth it.

He did it. Biff is the second important character in the play. He is the victim of Willie's philosophy, because Willie

He has always been thick, long and thin. He loves Biff. Biff idolizes his father. Willie believes Biff will ask the coach.

I like it. Even stealing is not a problem. Later, in order to be my brother's hero, I encouraged the Biff brothers to steal it.

Wood. Biff lived according to his father's values until he failed in math and went to Boston to find his father.

Asking for help and discovering his father's privacy completely changed his view of his father. Because his father kept telling him

How important he is that he can't obey people, plus he has the habit of stealing and wandering outside for many years, which is not just one thing.

It's nothing. I was in prison. He tried to help his father get rid of fantasy and face up to the fact that both father and son are mediocre people.

I had to start from scratch, but I failed. But at the end of the play, he finally woke up. If we say that Miller is interested in the people in the play,

Still hope, that hope lies in Biff. Habib is a son neglected by his father. At home, than

Dave's image always depresses him. Hobby grew up to be a prodigal and selfish man, and he became a madman.

My father left it in a restaurant and left with a prostitute. But Habib is also a victim of Willie's philosophy, and what's more sad is that,

He believes that he will succeed until the end of the play. Linda is a good wife, but she didn't help Willie go back in time.

On the contrary, the reality made Willie sink deeper and deeper into his fantasy and blindness. She was responsible for Willie's death,

But he seems to be Miller's spokesman, shouting out the voice in many people's hearts, "We must pay attention to this person", that is,

People can't get old and be thrown away like orange peel. Both Ben and Charlie aim to prove the fallacy of Willie's philosophy.

Characters. Ben represents a person who dares to take risks and can compete cruelly. /kloc-entered the African jungle at the age of 0/7.

2 1 out is a rich man. He succeeded. His philosophy is "It must be unfair to fight with strangers".

Charlie is a realist. He doesn't believe in personal charm. His famous saying is: "JPMorgan Chase took off."

Dressed like a butcher, he is very likable when he carries his wallet. Because of his pragmatic spirit,

He also achieved limited success in American society. He and his son Bernard are complete opposites of Willie and his son.

The play also uses symbolic techniques, such as the jungle symbolizing human society; Silk stockings imply Willie's guilt for his wife;

The fire in the Woods symbolizes that Willie feels that the pressure of life is too great to bear; The house that has paid off the loan symbolizes beauty.

People's values in China society; Willie planted vegetables in that sunless backyard late at night before he committed suicide to show him.

Desperate to leave something for my family; There is also the flute when the curtain rises and falls, which symbolizes Willina.

An impossible dream. The use of symbolism is like the use of stream of consciousness in novels. In the scenery design,

The walls in the house are transparent, with real people and dead people, and past plots and real plots appear alternately.

Just like the stream of consciousness, it only shows the dead characters and past plots, and the characters walk through the wall and ignore the room.

Environment, and the real characters come out from the door. When expressing the past tense, the lights are dimmed and the behavior of the characters is shown.

Age difference, clothing shows the difference of the times.
