In this book, Arthur Miller's masterpiece, one finds the reason that Miller was blacklisted during the Red Scare. His undisguised longing for a break from the class system and his disdain for the so-called "American Dream" are nothing short of remarkable.

Within Willy Lowman resides the typical American Dream with no reality. Overtaken by industrialism and materialism, this character represents the absolute failure of society's promise of economic prosperity. His life ends in the most tragic and simplest of ways. Sadly, the salesman who had worked his entire life just to be rewarded with "the death of a salesman," surrounded by friends, the spectator comes to the realization that everything he has worked so hard to build has either fallen or is no longer useful.

Biff is representative of a man who can see that one cannot, generally will not, always get what they dream of. He is the man who understands that this promise of the land of opportunity is misunderstood. It is the land of opportunity... opportunity for those who can afford it. However, for those who are just trying to get buy, who do not have a fortune to thrive with; these people are the ones who often work the hardest to come to the end of their life to find out that they will never be given the opportunity that they were promised.

A classic American tragedy, I think that this is one of the most important commentaries on the economic slump that still exists in our current society.
