What an interestingly-told tragedy. I thought this play was good, good enough to scratch the recent itch I've had for plays, but not good enough to highly praise or earn higher than a 3-star rating. Willy is a 60-year-old salesman who has been let go, his usefulness has expired. Adrift, lost, and unsure of what to do next, his mood swings dangerously as tensions with his two sons rise higher. He doesn't realize that his self-sabotaging mindset is, in large part, a factor in his great unhappiness in life.

Although the premise was interesting, I did not enjoy the book in the form of a play and found myself waiting for it to end. Willy Loman the main character in the author's own words: “When a man does not have a grip on the forces of life” That is what intrigued me to pick it up as I love a good character study but to me, I was bored halfway through but still wanted to know what would become of Willy Loman. Maybe I just can't focus on plays but it definitely can work as a short story. In the end, it leaves you thinking which is a good thing about a book that it evokes an emotion or makes you ponder life.
