''There are two ways to read Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman". The first is an American tragedy, the story of a "little man" whose spirit and life were crushed by the vicissitudes of everyday life. But a second (and in my view equally valid) way to interpret the story is as a morality play with a happy ending. Compromise your values, lose sight of your dreams, cheat on your spouse, and you're dead. Clean, quick, uncomplicated. It's almost a happy fantasy, really. In fact, when I'm feeling a little depressed, I like to open up "Death of a Salesman" and [turn to](?) the funeral scene for a quick pick-me-up.'' |
