And he does this with the intention, that his family is going to receive insurance money. At the end of the play of course, he commits suicide. As we keep going in the play, there’s more flashbacks, and he’s really going back and forth between memories and present day life. That’s all he really wants to be able to do. This is the struggle he has throughout the entire play. He really tries to provide for his family. We do find out at the beginning that he’s not working for the same amount that he was earlier. He’s been demoted, and then he’s been fired. Remember that’s just a fancy way of saying the main character. Let’s start of course with the main, man Willy Loman. This is kind of the who’s who of this play. So I want to start with the primary characters. Including, completely getting rid of this myth about Willy Loman and his last name. And see what the significance of some of the names in this play, really is. The last thing we’re going to do, is a little what’s in a name. That’s what we’re going to be talking about today.įirst we’re going to discuss major characters, then minor characters. Remember, we don’t have an author who can take paragraphs to describe setting or what people are like. A play has really got to be character-driven. I’m sitting here on this little outdoor stage, thinking about how different a play can be, than a novel.
