1)
In the
scene where Willy is asking Howard for a job in NYC Willy is attempting to
remind Howard of what he has done for him and his family in the past. Howard
says, “Business is business,” and later Charley says, “When are you gonna
realize that stuff doesn’t matter anymore?” What doesn’t Willy get here?
2) How would you describe Willy’s
treatment of Linda? Find an example in the text that displays how you feel he
treats her.
3) As we stated in class last time,
Willy has a way of looking at things from the past and altering them to fit his
current needs. How does he do this when speaking to Bernard about Biff’s issues
with math in high school?
4)
With which character in the play do
you feel the most sympathy and why?
1)
How do The Great Gatsby and Death of A Salesman address the American
dream”?
2) In the Requiem section of the
play, we find out that no one shows up to Willy’s funeral. What do the other
characters make of this? What do you make of this?
3) Biff says: “Charley, there’s more
of him in that front stoop than in all the sales he ever made “ (Miller 110).
What do you think he meant by this?
4)
How do Biff, Happy and Linda end up
feeling about Willy by the end of the play?
