Another example of Willy not pushing himself hard enough to pursue his goals would be him escaping into the past. I just couldn’t make it Linda.” (Death of a salesman movie). Willy’s exhaustion from working the same job and his shortcoming can be observed in the Death of a salesman movie by Arthur Miller when Willy tells Linda “I’m tired to death….I couldn’t make it. Willy’s mediocrity is seen in the beginning of the movie when he works for the same company for 34 years and in that time has barely moved up the latter at his job.
The first reason why Willy Loman didn’t achieve the American dream was because he didn’t expect more from himself. Given the evidence provided in this essay, Willy did not accomplish the American dream. Given Willy’s current life situation in conjunction with his memories, the audience is left wondering whether Willy really accomplished what he was after. Over the course of the movie, Willy brings his memories into the present where the audience can get insight into what truly happened over the course of Willy’s life. Willy has been growing tired of life over the course of six months and the movie Death of a Salesman documents Willy’s last day of life before inevitably killing himself. The movie does this by putting its audience in the shoes of sixty-three-year-old Willy Loman, Willy is a salesman that has worked for the same company for over thirty years and has struggled to make ends meet. Death of a salesman is a 20th-century movie surrounding the idea of the American dream.
