Tone:-

The tone is visual primarily through the play’s stage directions. The directions also described the
pain suffered by the characters. However, the tone is also mocking of Willy’s blind acceptance of a
very hollow, materialistic version of the American Dream.

Genre:-

Death of a Salesman is likewise in lots of methods a tragedy. Of course, Death of a Salesman has a
number of variations from the historic Greek model of the genre. There aren't anyt any choruses on
this play and the protagonist, Willy Loman, differs in numerous methods from a conventional tragic
hero. With Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller got down to create what he referred to as a "tragedy
of the not unusualplace man. " He desired to expose that the sorrows of your common ordinary man
had been simply as worth of dramatization as the ones of kings. Also, take a look at out Shmoop`s
tackle Miller's A View from the Bridge in case you need some other instance of a tragedy of the not
unusualplace man.

Title;-

Willy models this dream funeral after an old salesman named Dave Singleman.
Willy said it was huge and attended by a lot of people, completely revealing to everyone that
Singleman was successful and popular.
Unfortunately for Willy, his funeral is not what he describes as a single man.
The gap (or vast rift) between Willie's dream of dying and the actual death makes this title sadly
ironic.
. The title also mentions Willie's salesman's dream death-a dream of financial success and becoming
the father of a famous son.
However, Willy wants to be able to leave heritage in the form of a life insurance fund to his son Biff
by committing suicide. The
funeral scene fully reveals that Willie's dreams are dead rather than dead.
After all, Willie's salesman's dream is dead, dead, dead. On a larger scale, the title could have
another impact on capitalism and the American dream. Instead of naming the
play "Death of a Salesman," you can also call it "Death of Capitalism" or "Death of the American
Dream."
.setting:-
Most of the action takes place in Willy Roman`s home and garden in Brooklyn, NY. play, the tall and
invading buildings are shown to choke on the more natural beauty that once surrounded Roman's
house. There are some scenes that don't happen at the Romans house in Brooklyn. It should also be
pointed out that theater, or at least most of it, takes place in Willie's head.
Alaska, Africa, American West

When Roman's house symbolizes imprisonment, physically and mentally distant places symbolize
escape, freedom, and the possibility of something better. In addition, Biff, Happy, and Ben
repeatedly point out that Romans are suitable for manual labor. This is a claim backed by my failure
as a salesperson.

Seeds
The seeds that Willy insists on buying and planting are an important symbol in the play. All of
these feelings come to a head in Willy`s seed planting. Through planting seeds, Willy wants grow
something that will thrive, provide for others and remain after his own death. .

Stocking:-

Stockings appear in the death of the salesman in various situations. Willy repeatedly yells at Linda
to give Linda stockings for the woman he is having an affair with and to repair her stockings in front
of him (they remind him of his affair and he cares for his family). I don't seem to do it). Biff's anger
at his father's affair also flows into his stockings. Perhaps they are the reason for his anger.

Tennis Racket
. The tennis racket Willy observes when he chats with Bernard in Charley`s office is a symbol of
Bernard`s success and Biff`s failure. While athletic Biff and Happy hoped to make a fortune selling
sports equipment, it is Bernard, who in high school stood on the sidelines while Biff played sports,
that now owns the tennis racket.

Diamonds and the Jungle

The diamonds that made Ben rich are a symbol of concrete wealth in Death of a Salesman. When
Willy is considering killing himself, he hears Ben telling him that, "the jungle is dark but full of
diamonds. " The jungle here is a risk (physically and, more interestingly, morally), which has the
potential to yield wealth.

Sstreet car named desire:-

tone
Sympathetic

Family Drama, Realism, Southern Gothic, Tragedy

In this case, the fantasy enters the picture when the audience gets to see and hear some of
Blanche`s imagined horrors: shadows on the wall, the eerie polka music overhead, the sounds of
echoing voices. Lastly there`s Social Realism, because of the play`s frank treatment of issues like
immigration, class, gender roles, and power plays between women and men. All that creepy
shadows-on-the-wall voices-in-Blanche`s-head stuff that we talked about also explains the play`s
categorization as Southern Gothic. Sure, the "supernatural" elements of the play turn out to be only
in Blanche`s imagination, but that`s the case in many horror movies. Oh, and Streetcar is a great
portrait of social issues in New Orleans (ahem, the South) in the 1940s
.TITLE:-

There is an actual streetcar named “Desire” that Blanche takes on her way to the Kowalskis`.
First, in Scene One, she tells Eunice that “they told [her] to take a streetcar named Desire, and
then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at—Elysian Fields!” (1. 16).
Blanche is literally brought to the Kowalski place by “Desire,” but she is also brought there by
desire; her sexual escapades in Laurel ruined her reputation and drove her out of town.
In fact, go back to Blanche`s first reference to the streetcar that we opened this discussion with.
Desire, then the graveyard, then Elysian Field.
Blanche himself seems to see here a link to this phrase, which is central to understanding the role
of desire in street cars. Escape from death.
Unfortunately, as we already know, desire leads to the graveyard and leads to the Elysian field.
STYLE;-

Lyrical, Potent

Williams’s style comes across best in his stage directions. He doesn’t hold
back. He brilliantly strikes at the heart of his characters with such potent
descriptions

.SYMBOL:-
FLOWER:-

o start, take a look at the end of Scene Five, when Mitch brings Blanche roses. He`s using
flowers to court Blanche – desire, right? Now look at Scene Nine, when the Mexican Woman
comes around selling flores para los muertos, or "flowers for the dead. " We just went from desire
to death in three scenes using one symbol. Stella means to suggest that Blanche is attractive
(desire), but Blanche feels as though she`s past her prime (death).

MUSIC:-

First of all, if you read your stage directions carefully you`ll notice that Williams uses music to
establish the mood of many different scenes in Streetcar. " Williams mentions the name of this
polka in his stage directions, but Blanche, too, gives its name in Scene Nine. How about the song
"Paper Moon" that Blanche sings while she`s in the bathtub in Scene Seven? (singing) "Say, it`s only a
paper moon, Sailing over a cardboard sea—But it wouldn`t be make-believe If you believed in me!
It`s a Barnum and Bailey world, Just as phony as it can be— But it wouldn`t be make-believe If you
believed in me! It`s only a paper moon, Just as phony as it can be— But it wouldn`t be make-believe
If you believed in me!
