well done, October 3, 1999

This review is from: Willy Loman (Major Lit Char) (Z) (Bloom's Major Literary Characters) (Library Binding)
Disregard the views of the ignoramus who has never heard of Death of a Salesman. This work studies the psyche of one of the most fascinating characters created in drama. I know that this work has provided much insight into the motivations of Willy Loman. I recommend this read to anyone interested in delving into the psychological makeup of Willy.

Attention must be paid! --. . . And no attention was . . ., October 26, 1999

This review is from: Willy Loman (Major Lit Char) (Z) (Bloom's Major Literary Characters) (Library Binding)
In agreement with the submission from a reader in the USA, I too found with book very insightful on the makeup of Willy Lomans pyschiatric state of mind. Most mandatory highschool books or plays follow a theme not relevant to a teenager. As for this play, many teens can relate to Willy's state of mind in depression, confusion, or even the relationship with his "significant other" (Linda or 'the woman'). Arthur Miller wrote this play from a personal aspect which makes this play seem more believable then some of William Shakespeares. A great play for an OAC student or Grade 12 to study. Short in length and packed with english aspects to critique.

Willy who? I thought this was about baseball, not a play..., September 26, 1999

Has anyone even heard of "Death of a Salesman?" I know I haven't. I thought Willie Lowman was a baseball player. Or if he wasn't a baseball player, I knew he had to be one of Robin Hood's Merry Men. What a dumb book. I like baseball and anyone who shoots bows and arrows. Huh!

The Death Of A Salesman is not all its cracked up to be!!, October 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Willy Loman (Major Lit Char) (Z) (Bloom's Major Literary Characters) (Library Binding)
I found that the Death Of a Salesman is one of the most boring plays that i have ever read. Maybe its a piece of art to all those who study literature, but to myself, all my peers and to those who studied it in Year 11 english like i did, think that it is the most boring play that i have ever come across. It really has nothin to do with lifestyles in the 90's, and therefore will not interest those like myself. The play is stupid and confusing, and iam sorry if i have offended anyone who thinks that this is a piece of art. But iam only saying what i think, and iam free to do so.
