Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument ist eine Zusammenfassung des Theaterstücks „Death of a Salesman“ (Tod eines Handlungsreisenden) von Arthur Miller. Die Charaktere des Stücks werden vorgestellt und ihre Beziehungen untereinander beschrieben. Die Handlung dreht sich um den Verkaufsreisenden Willy Loman, der über 60 Jahre alt ist und unter Depressionen leidet. Er kämpft darum, sein Leben lang gearbeitet und seinen Söhnen eine erfolgreiche Zukunft ermöglicht zu haben, aber diese sind unglücklich und unerfüllt. Die Beziehung zwischen Willy und seinem älteren Sohn Biff ist besonders angespannt, da Biff seinen Vater nicht mehr bewundert und nicht weiß, was er mit seinem Leben anfangen soll. Willy hat eine Affäre und verliert schließlich seinen Job, was ihn noch verbohrter und verzweifelter macht. Das Stück zeigt, wie die Beziehungen innerhalb der Familie zerfallen und wie Willy letztendlich in den Tod getrieben wird. Das Stück behandelt Themen wie den amerikanischen Traum, Erfolg und Scheitern, und gibt Einblicke in die menschliche Psyche.
