explain the meaning of the title death of a salesman

Write a THREE PAGE essay explaining the meaning of the title.

While this seems like a very specific (and, perhaps, frustrating) question, the play titles are full of meaning and actually lend themselves to expansive analyses that could and should incorporate numerous elements of meaning in the plays they describe. Fear not.

Your essay should be organized around a clear thesis. This means that you’ll be making a claim about the play as opposed to simply describing what happens on the plot level. In other words, you will be presenting an analysis of the play, not merely a summary of it. Be as precise as possible in supporting your thesis using concrete examples from the play.

Format:

You do not need to include a cover page, but you must provide a title. Margins should be about 1” all around and the font no larger than #12. Lines should be double-spaced, but do not quadruple-space between paragraphs. In quoting directly from the play, indicate the act and scene from which the passage comes. You are not required to use outside sources, but if you do you must cite those sources on a “Works Cited” page.
