Death of a Salesman SOAPST

     Death of a Salesman is a play written by Arthur Miller set to take place in the late 1940s. This time was a time of reformation and innovation, as well as a time of struggle. Set to take place right after WWI, Death os a Salesman is surely an accurate and clear depiction of that time. The speaker of the book, as well as the main character, is Willy Loman. Willy Loman is a salesman who travels around a lot for his work. However, despite his past successes, he is not doing so well lately healthwise as well as financially. Stretches of this can be seen in the book when he is caught talking to himself due to various reasons such as his stress from work and not being able to pay off his insurance bills.
     The strory takes place mostly in Willy Loman's house, in New York, NY in 1949. Some scenes in the book can take place in other places also, like in his boss's office, or with his mistress in Boston. The audience of the story can be the reader. However, since it is a play, when it is being performed, it's audience can be the spectators sitting in the crowd to watch the play. The purpose of the story is to informteh audience about Willy Loman's family and the situations of that time. Also, the purpose can arguably be to entertain the audience with an interesting story. The subject of the story could be reachign the American dream, or the acceptance of reality compared to the denial of the truth. The overall tone of the story is modest,  but sad. The book in itself was a very good book in my opinion, and thought the first fifty pages went by slowly, the rest of the book was a breeze to read.
