The Death of a Salesman

I had to do a report on the "Death of a Salesman" for my drama class. The death of a Salesman is a  play written about a 60 yr old salesman (Willy Loman) that struggles with paying off his debts and his hallucinations. Biff, the son of Willy, comes home from war and holds a grudge on his father because he caught him cheating on his mother, Linda Loman. Biff and Willy often fight about their situations and they both try to fix it but struggle to do so.
I enjoyed this play because the ending is not what made it a tragedy, it was the events that happened that made the ending so such a emotional tragedy. I reccommend this for adults mostly because children and I must guess most teenagers wont have the understanding and purpose of the story.
