Death of A Salesman
Lesson Outline
After we reviewed the elements of the Freytag pyramid , we analyzed which scene of the play constitutes the play's climax in the context of which scene dramatizes the play's critical conflict, a battle between father and son. We discussed how the play's climax dramatizes how Willy's values once synonymous with the American Dream have fallen out of vogue and have created rift between a son who rejects Willy's lifestyle and blames Willy for his failures. Further ,we examined whether Biff's condemnation of his father is justified. After defining the term "requiem" we then examined the final scene of the play and noted how Willy's life has been misdirected toward a goal he simply was not suited to achieve. Joshua addressed Biff's summation of Willy's life that ,"he had all the wrong dreams."
