Although still relatively young by literature standards, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is considered one of the most cogent plays of the twentieth century. It is through Miller’s effective use of elemental characterization that he has been recognized as a great playwright and has allowed for this play to attain so much success. Miller provides for such effective characterization of Willy Loman throughout the context of the play that the viewer/ reader can empathize with Willy, while at the same time, having difficulty deciding whether to pity or shame him. The characterization of Willy Loman that provided for the magnanimous success of this play is highlighted by his relationships with other characters. These characters act as a medium that allow for the reader to discern how delusional and misaligned Willy really is. This is initially evident when Willy returns from his sales trip and is conversing with his wife, Linda. Willy transcends that he is an important salesman and makes many references to this success as seen in line 24, “They don’t need me in New York. I’m the New England man.
