I just watched this "Death of a Salesman" (the older version) on you tube and I thought that it was a great but sad story for Willy Loman. Willy was a man who had so much pride for his work/craft as a salesman , invested his time to be the best that he could be and how as time progressed he found it difficult to move on from the past and accept the changes of the present.
The story is slow in the beginning but as you reach midway you'll start to understand why Willy had certain issues with his son Biff, and why Linda believed in him the way that she did and why the neighbor/brother remained a devoted friend.
