Book Review: Death of a Salesman (Miller)


Have I read this before: We read this in 11th grade English, too, I think, just like The Crucible. Gotta get that sweet, sweet Arthur Miller in those juniors. I can’t remember the character I read for, though.

Review: I like Miller, fight me. He’s really good at building up a persistent, nagging heartbreak that you know will eventually destroy a character. I remember going to see my drama teacher at U of I in this play way back in 2006 and I still remember how much it hurt.

Favorite Part: Just that buildup. It’s really extreme in this play (obviously) and even if you know what’s coming, it’s still very upsetting.

Rating: 7/10
