Reflection of Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller

<Tab/>"Before us is the salesman's house," is how this whole epic drama starts. In this mere description of the setting we can see so many ideas Arthur Miller is trying to tell us. Willy Loman's house is surrounded by huge and tall apartment buildings. Walls are all you will perceive looking out the windows of this house. Walls and buildings however, were not always casting their shadows on Willy's life …

…was as the whole world rose to new heights, shown in the buildings surrounding his house. The buildings represented progress and Willy's little house in the midst of it all showed stubbornness. The walls and the buildings represented the cause and effect of Willy's philosophies. In the end, everything eventually succumbs to change. If you refuse to accept it and build walls around yourself, those walls will keep you where you are until the end.
