Drama Mamma

The Death of a Salesman is a drama. Not only is it a drama in the sense that Willy dies in the end, but also because of his family. Yes, everyone knows Willy is going to die. Hence the title. However, this is also a tragedy because of the death of his family. Willy was trying to be the traditional father figure that cares for his family; however, he fails epically. He neglects his sons in a sense. Yes, there are many flashbacks of him spending time with his sons, but that amounted to nothing. Happy is always telling his father that he is loosing weight and his father ingores him. How immature.
