¡Death of a Salesman Discussion Area #4!

You are to finish Death of a Salesman by Monday. By Tuesday, I'd like you to explore the following prompt and expand on at least one other reader's thoughts.

  • React, respond and explicate a “five star quote” of your choice. A “five star quote” is a quote that “jumps off the page” at you for any number of reasons. It may be aphoristic*, profound, humorous, universal, or any reason you choose. Explain how the quote relates to any of the larger elements of the play (character, theme, irony). For clarity, you must include the entire quote somewhere in the entry.

____________________________________
* a pithy quote that contains a general truth (if it ain't broke, don't fix it)
