The first read of the play was quite difficult because I was constantly lost between whether the scene was a flashback or in the present and this caused many confusions on what was happening within the play especially with Ben, Willy's dead brother. The characters of the play were incredibly well developed and easy to understand and allowed me to comprehend the values and opinions Arthur Miller were trying to convey about the American dream quite easily. The death of a salesman came as a surprise to me, expecting an action packed story of a salesman and his journey around the world which led to his death, I instead discovered a tragic play about the life of an average American salesman and his struggle to keep his dreams and values "alive".
