DEATH OF A SALESMAN: MORAL STORY

The play, “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller, is about the tragedy of a man named Willy Loman. He

is middle-aged, has two sons, and works hard trying to earn a living for his family. By being such a

failure, he drives his family away from him and ends up committing suicide in an attempt to bring them

together again. What Willy had failed to realize is that in order to succeed as a salesman, you must have

the right product, the right price, and you must have the salesmanship skills essential to getting it done.

The play suggests the idea that we are on the wrong track when we think of success as something that

brings happiness instead of something that implies personal integrity. The moral lesson in the play

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller is that people cannot live by pipe dreams and illusions.

Arthur Miller gives the audience and especially today's salespeople someone to relate to in Willy Loman.

This is someone who is concerned about getting left behind in today's fast-paced world. Today's

salespeople should heed Miller's advice and take care of themselves, stay current, and be aware of their

surroundings. Instead of tragedy (and sales exhaustion), choose prosperity. Morality is one of the most

relevant and current issues nowadays. Philosophers keep talking about it, celebrities talk about it in their

interviews, people like to share their opinions about it on social media, and so on. It gets even more

interesting when we talk about how morality relates to sports or business. There are many examples

from real life, where a person gives up principles just to achieve success or win an important game.

“A lot of people are eliminated earlier from the productive life in this society than they used to be.”
