How to analyze the book what to look for
First shortly explonation about Willy
Who he is?
His role in the stroy
His misson
His relationships with the other characters
Explain all of it shortly
give enough information to connect the side characters and his Ideology
do not explain all the stroy max a few sentences
His American Dream
Where does it come from?
explain Ben since you will talk about him later
Say it as something as magical from the books descriptions
His repeated slogans that sports this Idea
this will be helpfull when I'm talking about the other characters
Most important characters to focus on, which these repated lines are relevant
Biff
Happy
Charley
Howard
Make this in a one paragraf if possible
2) The setting and the other literary devices
The fact that this is a theater is really important
The Setting
Pay attention to the decorastions
How it sets the mood
What does it add to the atmosphere
How it reflects the Idea of the American Dream
The Music and the lights
the dream sequences with Ben uses both of them effectifly
It comes back in flashbacks
It is seen in the dramatic parts
What kind of purpose do they have, which effects the Ideaology
Look for how the setting is described
essapcially the wording
alusion, reffrence
The Side Character's
We see them trough diologes
It is different then Willy, which he gets monologes
They create the critisisim of the American Dream
Their relation with Willy himself.
The role they have
with their personalities
with their phlosophies
their diolouge
How they are introdueced?
the literary devices
The side characters to pay attention
Biff
Willy's bigger son
the character, who is always in conflict with his dad
He dissagres with the Dream and beleving that this world doesn't work with the Idea.
How we can see the conflict
from their dioluge
the fact that Billy's future couldn't have been achieved by listening his Father
the scene where Billy goes to a work place, where Willy's Idea yet again also falsefied.
Happy
Biff's brother
someone who follows his Father's Idea
He sees himself as a higher person
He is shown as the next victim.
Howard
Willy's current boss
the representitive of the cruel capatalist leader
He takes him out as if Willy an object
Willy's Idea has been crushed with his scene
The fact that his father shared the same Idea with Willy but right know that this Idea is dying shows the American Dream doesn't work anymore
Charley
Willy's friend
Willy get angry to him pretty often. Because Charley's statements are oposite of Willy's Idea
He is telling the truth thouought the book
His statements are corrected in the end.
He is not an antagonist. He tries to help Willy.
Ben
He is Willy's Uncle
We don't know if he exists or not
We don't know was he succsesful or not
He gives the Main Idea to Willy
He is seen as a saviour to Willy
With music and lights
He is a symbol of succses
Linda
Willy's Wife
An emotinal chracter, who loves Willy
However she sees Willy as a person not the dream he represents
She does this with every character.
After all the notes the overall essay will look like this
Introduce Willy's Ideology
Intruduce Ben and what he represents
The fact that this character created the Ideology for Willy
the fact that this character is imaginary is an irony.
What he represents
How we see him
The repeated slogans, which can be seen in the diologe between him and Wİlly.
Were Biff and Happy sucssesful acording to Willy's Idea
Intruduce Biff and Happy
What were the repeated slogans, which Willy said to them
The diffrences between Biff and Happy
How they respond to this Idea
Charley's and Howard's point of view about humans being disposable.
the breaking point for Willy
The Idea crumbles
A huge critiqe about the new/ current world
voice of Reason Charley
The constant truth
After Willy's death the reactions from the other characters
which forms the centreal Idea of the book
makes the critique stronger
The disagrement between Willy and Ben in third act of the play
Charley referms that this belief is false, because in the end it drained him.
Lastly Arthur Miller's seen percpective from these characters
summary of all the points
the fact that it is outdated
And how the side characters see this Idea is the proof
the symbol of seeds use it
The RQ
In what ways does Arthur Miller express his attitude to the theme of “The American Dream” inherited in his work Death of a Salesman from his family, Howard and Charley's interactions with Willy Loman?
Extra Stuff that I should focus on
google akademik, ya da farklı site/kütüphaneden american dreami destekleyen veya karşı çıkan yazar, filiozof ... gibi insanları/ eserleri araştır. Yaralı ise kısaca belirt ve mla olarak biograğghy de bulundur
I should find other philosophers, writers and so forth to look at their ideas about the American Dream. Do they support the Idea or not?
I should find these information from:
google academics
from other academic sites
or from our library
If the information that I find will be useful to me, I should mention it in my text shortly and mention it in my biography.
