《推销员之死》是米勒于1949年写的揭露美国梦瑕疵的一本书，这篇文章是常规的读后感。
In America, there is a belief that people could make a better life through hard work, courage and determination, which is held by a great number of people, of whom Willy Lowman, the protagonist in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman and Walter Lee Younger, the protagonist in Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun are symbolic. They are both portrayed as the victim of this American dream. Their pursuit of illusive dream and their unwillingness to give in to their pride together lead to the fatal collapse of their dreams as well as their awareness of their true identities.
Those two dramas share a lot of similarities. Both the Walter family and Willy family belong to the lower class of poverty. And the rock of the family is trying to seek changes to a better life with wealth and dignity. We can see how difficult it is for Willy and his two sons to achieve success and to realize this so-called American Dream. So is the case in Walter family. Life never gets easy on them. What is more, their black skin brings them an incredible amount of prejudice. The story in the A Raisin in the Sun is set in the time of 1950s when African Americans are in many ways restricted. We can never truly feel the ecstasy of the Walter family’s intending to buy a house in a white neighborhood. However, things are not that easy. Moving into a white neighborhood does not mean equality with the white people; moving into a white neighborhood does not entitle them to dignity and moving into a white neighborhood does not indicate that they are a part of them. That is the reality those African Americans have to confront at that time. They struggle so hard to be a part of them, but each step closer pushes them back further by the gradually unveiling cruel reality. Lindner says to them: “what do you think you are going to gain by moving into a neighborhood where you just aren’t wanted and where some elements-well-people can get awful worked up when they feel that their whole way of life and everything they’ve ever worked for is threatened” (ACT 2, SCENE 3), which to some extent implies the impassable gulf between the white and the black. Racial prejudice does exist there between those struggling black men and the proud white people.
Both Willy and Walter have a dream, a hope for more dignified and richer life. Both of them are eagerly longing to provide the family with the best they can have. But Willy dies from his dream. He is the rock, the support of his family, while his dream is the rock of himself. His ailing health, his incessant lapse into the past and his incapacity for change finally bring him down. Suicide might perhaps be the last choice for him to get relief. In the end, courage along with the families of Willy both fails him. With no one to turn to, Willy goes on a path which never leads back. Though both Willy and Walter are confronted with a lot of challenges, different characters of them lead to different ending.

What’s more, it is evident that both Willy and Walter represent not only themselves; they are also symbolic of a group of people. Willy stands for those belonging to the lower class fighting for dignity and wealth, while Walter those poor African Americans who have to overcome the racial prejudice to struggle for what the desire.
