Death of a Salesman is a play written by Arthur Miller in 1949, which was later adapted into a television movie in 1985. The story revolves around the life of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman who has spent his entire life working hard to provide for his family. However, things have not gone as planned for Willy, and he finds himself in a state of crisis.
Willy's job as a salesman is no longer secure, and he faces the possibility of being fired. He is also struggling with paying his bills and keeping his home. He constantly worries about living up to the expectations of his sons, Biff and Happy, who seem to be drifting away from him.
Throughout the movie, Willy's mental state deteriorates. He begins to have delusions and flashbacks that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. At times, he imagines conversations with his deceased brother, who he believes has more success than he does.
Meanwhile, his sons are struggling in their own lives. Biff, who was once a high school football star, can't seem to keep a job or find his place in the world. Happy is also in search of something more in life.
As Willy's life spirals out of control, he wonders where he went wrong and how he can make things up to his family. The story is a reflection of the struggles faced by many middle-class families during the post-war era in America and the pressure to find success and provide for their families.
