For all you who have heard that this play is hard to follow, I would not disagree. Yet despite the difficult comprehension, Miller does an excellent job in relation to the characters' psyche. There is a much deeper meaning to this work. It explores the never ending chain of the importance of family. A must for all whose family is a little distant among each other. Touching, moving, extraordinary.

I believe that English teachers should make a list of books that teenagers could understand without having to rely on cheat sources. My advice to you would be to choose books that you can understand easily without driving yourself crazy while writting your critical analysis. Death of a Salesman is not one of those books that can be easily understood, in my opinion.

The only problem with this play is that it is hard to follow all of the flashbacks. Other than that it is very good, with many hilarious scenes.

I Liked the play and thought it was very good, though it was a little confusing with the flashbacks.

I appreciated the multifaceted characters in this play. I thought the end was perfectly fitting to the book. I highly recomend this book to any parent who thinks they are raising their children right. END

I read this play in one evening. At times I found it hard to follow, but I REALLY enjoyed it. Soon after I rented the movie with Dustin Hoffman which solidified the story in my mind and moved me to tears. A very compelling story.

My class first watched the movie with Dustin Hoffman and John Malcovich and I fell asleep, so I decided since we had to do an essay on the play, I'd read it. That did not work at all, it was no better than the movie. I ended up having my friend email me his essay so I could write mine!

I studied this play for an independent study in 12th grade. I liked the play, but I don't believe that the topic is appropriate for influential students to be learning about. It teaches us that instead of trying to resolve our troubles, we should just give up, and leave our loved ones in the lurch.
