     Arthur Miller(1915－2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th
century.Miller's father had moved to the USA from AustriaHungary,drawn like so many others by the
"Great American Dream"．However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business
was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
     Miller's most famous play,Death of a Salesman,is a powerful attack on the American system,with its
aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In
Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is "burnt
out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment:if he can't do the work,then he is no
good to his employer,the Wagner Company,and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this,and at a loss as
to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the
end.
     When it was first staged in 1949,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews,and it won the Tony
Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award,and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was
the first play to win all three of these major awards.
