Significance Of The Title Death Of A Salesman By Willy Loman

Death Of A Salesman By: Arthur Miller “The Jungle is dark but full of diamonds,willy.”(Miller 134). Willy Loman is the main character in the novel “Death Of A Salesman’ and Mr.Loman was the type of person that would always focus on the simple things. Instead of looking for new opportunities and for a better change everything went downhill for Mr.Loman. For that reason, Arthur Miller utilizes the title “Death Of A Salesman” not just to predict Willy Loman’s death and failure, but also how Mr.Loman’s dreams died alongside with him. Showing that one little mistake can make a big change in your life. Miller utilizes the title to show how Willy Loman’s failure caused insecurity and self doubt in himself. Willy Loman’s failure was something that he caused because he started all the lies. Willy would refuse to admit he is a failure although Mr.Loman knew he had a difficult life.

As Ben states in the novel “You’ve got a new continent at your doorstep, William get out of these cities they’re full of talk and time payments.”(Miller 133).Ben was telling Mr.Loman that he felt like the city was too much for him and he couldn’t handle it that is why Ben had said “Get out of these cities”. Failure is something that nobody wants in life. Things began to get worse for Mr.Loman he lost his job as well, but in society this usually happens daily.
