death of a salesman

I really enjoyed this play. I thought it was a good play to read after reading Mother Courage because it had some similar critical elements in it. I remember in the beginning of the semester, we talked in class about how Death of a Salesman is in many ways similar to Greek tragedies, and I thought a lot about that while reading. Although not doomed by any gods, Willy's obsession with what he thinks is the American Dream and success end up destroying him. Looking back, I interestingly did not feel as bad for him as I normally would for a character killing them self. I think this is because i could not empathize with Willy's materialism. Overall, I found the play to be very entertaining and thought-stimulating.
