Writing a paper about a related topic for school; this is a great article! Not just because of the topic being DoaS, but the points you outlined are excellent. Was just looking for a reference, ended up getting much more :)

There were two works of art that were allowed into China during the Cultural Revolution from the West: ‘The Sound of Music”, to show what beauty our culture could develop, and “Death of a Salesman”, to show what dogs we capitalists really were.

I feel sympathy for Willy but also a bit of disgust. Who was the male figure in Willy’s life to teach him the right way. He has memories of Ben and Ben’s success but who was there for Willy. He could not even remember his father. That’s why I feel sympathy. I feel a bit annoyed because he never owned up to his actions and took responsibility for them. He tries to make things right with the hope of his family getting the insurance money from his suicide. His family had to endure so much. For the sake of his mother Biff tried to make his relationship with is father work. Happy felt like he had to impress his father to get his attention … It’s just real messed up.
