Even the play Death of a Salesman revolves around the bitter realities and struggles of a common man, depicted in a fictious manner. The play tells the story about a man, father, and a husband, who wants to see everyone successful. However, the play depicts that Willy, the main character of the play has a psychological issue, where he often falls in flash backs, and conducts an conversation with his imaginary brother, and even his own family dreads confronting him regarding his mental state, or his conversations with his imaginary brother.

Moreover, in the endeavour of being successful and making Willy proud, his sons not only tend to undertake all the measures to accomplish their objectives, but also prefer to tell a lie, upon failure, so that their father may not be dejected and disheartened. However, the play denotes not only the love of a father for his sons, but also his intention to go to every limit in order to provide to his family, and endeavouring to lessen down their problems and adversities, even if it takes him to give away his own life.
