Arthur Miller/Characterization in Death of a Salesman

Abstract: A 6 page research paper that looks at Miller's brilliant characterization in Death of a Salesman. The character of Willy Loman, in particular, has come to represent the oppressed worker, who is ground up in the corporate mill. However, Miller's characterization goes much deeper than merely attending to Willy's working persona, he also brings into the societal forces that create Willy's ideas of what constitutes masculinity, and shows how the root cause of Willy's situation is his tremendous and deep-set feelings of inadequacy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
