Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-16 00:00:00 Didier Tisch Death of a Salesman was a play about a family struggling from the Great Depression (I think). The main character is Willy, a loser of a salesman who people don't like, so he pretends to be liked by people. I thought that he was extremely lucky he even got laid and had two children. This leads to the two sons Willy has: Biff and Happy. Biff is the older one and begins to fail school because he witnessed his father with another woman. The teacher explained that Biff lost his role model so he lost his view of the future for life. Therefore, Biff failed his tests and began stealing. However, what I thought was that Biff was jealous of his father for getting laid by such a hot chick so he went emo. Then there's Happy. He's a real lady's man who would disregard the fact that he even has parents just to have his way with a random slut at the bar. So Willy gets fired, and sees ghosts. Then, he commits suicide to get insurance money to pay for Biff's college costs. This book was one of the most boring books I've read. Thank goodness it was only like 100 pages. What I learned from this book was that when you have problems, you should never cheat on your wife. That was basically the reason how one person's problems spawned even more for other people who were actually happy because of lies.
