Character Names Happy - a boy's name. As his name implies, Happy is someone who should be content - he has a job, an apartment, and a never-ending stream of women - but he remains deeply unhappy. Ben - Willy's brother is named after the biblical figure Benjamin, which means "one who is blessed." The biblical Benjamin far outstripped his brothers in all areas, rousing their jealousy. Loman - Willy is a low-man. No great hero, he is already so low on the ladder that he has hardly anywhere to fall.

The American Dream is closely tied up with the literary works of another author, Horatio Alger. This author grew famous through his tales which were always based on the rags-to-riches model. He illustrated how through hard work and determination, penniless boys could make a lot of money and gain respect in America.

But the Horatio Alger model of the American dream is not what's represented in Death of a Salesman. Rather than being a direct representation of the concept, or even a direct critique of it, Salesman challenges the effects of the American dream. This myth (myth of the desired effects the dream has on one’s life) exists in our society - how does the prevalence of this myth change the way in which we live our lives?

American Dream Miller demonstrates that the American dream leaves those who need a bit more community support, who cannot advocate for themselves as strongly, in the dust.

Free-write! What do you envision occurring at your funeral? Who will be there? What will be said? How might you want it to go?
