... Josh Gunnell September 2003 English Literature Coursework Arthur Miller Death of a Salesman (1949) 'He had all the wrong dreams. All wrong.' Discuss Miller's presentation of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman Willy Loman is the central character in this play of flashbacks and mind tangents set in the New York and Boston of the late 1940's. Miller's intense interest with Willy is in his protagonist attitude and belief in the American Dream, the belief that in America, one man can make it to be somebody and be counted for. Death of a Salesman has frequently been understood as a commentary on the American Dream and whether the dream's economic prosperity is truly available to anyone who works diligently, and the importance the dream places on material wealth invites selfishness and social injustice. Willy is a salesman, husband and a father. Willy has a tendency to lie to his children (just one of Willy's moral lapses),
