skills#1 Salesman Act 1” by Arthur
Miller.

Each group will be given 5

minutes to read and brainstorm.

Then, each group will discuss

briefly the part of the summary
they are assigned to.

Group 1:
 Willy Loman, an old,
worn-out salesman,
enters. He’s talking to
himself, and this just can’t
be good.
 Willy’s back from a trip
and carrying some bags.
It’s late at night, and he
definitely should be in
bed.
 Inside, Linda, Willy’s wife,
is surprised to see him—
he is supposed to be
gone for several days on
a business trip.
 Her husband explains
that he kept forgetting he
was driving (scary). Since
his mind was totally not
on the road (and
frequently his car wasn’t
either), he headed home.
 Linda, ignoring the fact
that Willy has been
talking with imaginary
people and driving off
roads, recommends that
he ask his boss to
transfer him to a local
office job.

 Willy insists that he’s vital

as a traveling salesman,
but eventually agrees.
He’s sure that his boss,
Howard, loves him
enough to give him the
local NY gig.
 Willy and Linda chat
about their grown sons,
Biff and Happy, who
happen to be sleeping
upstairs.
 Biff has just come home
from the West, where he
was working as a
farmhand.
 Willy is mad at Biff. The
father-and-son duo had
yet another fight that
morning, primarily
because Willy can’t
handle the fact that his
34-year-old son isn’t able
to hold down a real job,
you know, the kind with
suits and fluorescent
 lights.
 He concludes that Biff
must be lazy.
 Willy then declares his
son is hard-working hot
stuff (notice how he
changed his mind about
the lazy part?). He can’t
understand why, in the
greatest country ever
(a.k.a. America), his son
can’t get his life together.
Clearly (to Willy), Biff is
wasting his life in order to
spite his old man.

 Willy reminisces, in a
rather sad and I-want-to-
live-through-you-
vicariously kind of way,
about what a hotshot Biff
was in high school.
 Willy and Linda get to
bickering about cheese
and population growth
(no, we weren’t aware of
any correlation between
the two either).
 Biff and Happy are now
awake (upstairs) listening
to their dad’s odd
mutterings. They’re
worried about his sanity.
We are, too.
 The brothers have a
heart-to-heart
conversation complete
with reminiscing about
their past. Biff, the
sensitive one, tells Happy
(the happy one?) that
he’s upset about his fight
with their dad.
 Happy thinks Willy is
anxious about Biff’s
aimlessness; he
wants the low-down on
what Biff is doing with his
life.
 Biff tells his brother that
he’s unhappy, hates the
competitive world of
business, and thinks farm
work is better. (He likes
acting strong and being
shirtless, which he just
can’t do in an office.)
 AND YET—he can’t keep
 even a farming job. This
guy is having a serious
internal battle.
 Happy’s name turns out
not to fit him at all. He’s
lonely despite having a
decent job and endless
women at his disposal.
 Biff and Happy fantasize
about moving to the West
together and being real
men with a ranch and
cattle and sweating in the
sun while working with
their hands.
 Biff seems ready to head
for a ranch, but Happy
won’t let go of his pursuit
of wealth.
 Like so many other
brothers, these two start
chatting about ladies.
Both want to settle down
with someone, but Happy
is a player and can’t stick
to one woman. He’s
super-competitive and
chases his friends’ girls
just for fun.
 Since the ranch idea is
not working out, Biff says
he’ll talk to this guy he
used to work for named
Bill Oliver. Biff was a
salesman in Oliver’s
sporting goods business
way back when and
thinks he made a good
impression. He’s hoping
Oliver will give him a loan
so that he and Happy can
start a business together.
 Happy thinks this is the
best idea ever. With big
dreams in mind, the
brothers go back to
sleep.

Group 2:

 Cut to downstairs, where

Willy is still chatting with
imaginary people.
 In his head, Willy relieves
the high school days of
his sons.
 Said high school days go
something like this:
 Biff and Happy are
washing their dad’s car,
hoping to impress him.
 The macho boys and
their dad sit around and
talk about how much
everybody loves them
and how popular they
are.
 Biff says he’s "borrowed"
(clearly stole) a football in
order to practice his
game (he’s a football star
and also, it would seem,
a kleptomaniac).
Laughing, Willy tells him
he should return it (good
parenting move). But
neither father nor son
takes the stealing
seriously.
 The father starts going off
about how great America
is and how everyone
busts out the red carpet
in the New England
towns where he travels
for business.
 He’s bragging and
overdoing it here.
 Still in the flashback,
Linda enters with some
laundry, which Willy
makes the boys help her
with. Biff gets his gang of
fawning friends to help
out, too.
 Willy hasn’t had enough
of bragging about himself
yet, so he starts telling
his wife about how "well
liked" he is and how he
made a killing on his
recent trip.
 Willy, who actually made
$70 in commissions, tells
Linda it was $212.
 Sadly, when they add up
the math, Linda finds
that, even with the self-
delusion and imaginary
income, they’re still in
debt.
 In a sudden (rare)
moment of accurate self-
reflection, Willy says
people just don’t like him
very much—but he
 blames his failure on
being ugly and fat.
 Linda assures him that
everything will be fine.
 No, wait, this is a
flashback. We already
know that "fine" never
comes to pass.
 Now Willy’s mind flashes
to a woman who is not
Linda by any stretch of
the imagination.
 The woman is putting her
clothes on amid some
sexually suggestive
jokes.
 Willy has given her some
stockings (remember
these stockings for a little
while longer).
 Back to the other
flashback (with his wife
and the boys and the
laundry). Willy promises
to make everything up to
Linda.
 Linda acts like a loving
angel, obviously unaware
that her husband is
cheating on her.
 Willy notices Linda
mending her stocking.
She responds that new
ones are too expensive to
buy (apparently too
expensive to buy for
wives, but not for
mistresses).
 Willy is thinking along the
same lines as we are,
and guiltily snaps at
Linda, telling her not to
mend the stockings in
front of him.

Group 3:

 We then get another

flashback to the time
when Biff is in high
school. (If you’re a little
confused at all of these
flashbacks, just imagine
how Willy is feeling.)
 Bernard, the son of
Willy’s neighbor Charley,
comes running in,
shouting that Biff is going
 to fail math.
 Being the model parent
that he is, Willy tells
Bernard to give Biff the
answers to the test and
get lost.
 Linda is worried about
her son failing math, but
her husband brushes off
her concern with
assurances that Biff’s
charm will carry him
through.
 So that was a crazy trip,
and now we’re back to
real time.
 Willy snaps out of his
daydream and finds
Happy.
 Willy’s thinking is
disjointed. He’s now
complaining about how
he was an idiot not to go
to Alaska with his brother,
Ben, when he was a
young man. Ben
apparently got rich on his
adventures.
 Happy is unable to help
his hallucinating father.
 Charley, the neighbor,
comes into the kitchen.
He’s heard noises and
wants to make sure
everything’s OK
(remember, it’s still late at
night).
 Charley knows Willy’s
financial situation and
kindly offers Willy a job.
Offended, Willy says he
already has a job (big
mistake).
 Charley advises Willy to
stop putting so much
pressure on Biff.
Offended again (as
usual), Willy tells Charley
to screw off.
 Ben enters the stage (not
the real Ben, though—
this is an imaginary Ben
that Charley can’t see).
 Willy talks aloud with
imaginary Ben. Charley,
still sitting in the kitchen,
has no idea what’s going
on (and is in all likelihood
 thinking of retracting the
job offer).
 Now Willy converses with
the imaginary Ben and
the real Charley at the
same time.
 He informs Charley that
Ben recently died.
 Back in Willy’s mind,
Ben is rushing out the
door to catch a train. He
repeatedly urges Willy to
go with him to Alaska.
 Back in real
life, Charley, irritated and
confused to no end,
storms out.
 Back in Willy’s mind,
Willy asks Ben how he
made so much money in
Alaska.
 Linda (an imaginary
version of her) enters and
greets Ben.
 Now we get a bit more
background on Willy.
Turns out, his father
abandoned him and Ben
when they were kids.
 So the deal with Alaska
was that Ben tried to
follow their dad there.
Ben’s no genius (or
migratory bird) and due to
his sketchy sense of
geography, ended up in
Africa instead.
 There (in Africa), Ben
struck it big in diamonds.
 Now more craziness
ensues when imaginary
young Biff and Happy
enter. Willy tells the boys
that Uncle Ben’s success
is proof that great dreams
can come true.
 Imaginary Ben has to go
catch his train, but tells
Willy and the boys that
his father (the boys’
grandfather) used to play
the flute. He also used to
drive Willy and Ben
around the country by
wagon and sell his
inventions along the way.
 Predictably, Willy brags
to Ben about how well he
 has raised his sons.
 Showing off his son, Willy
pushes Biff to start a
fistfight with his Uncle
Ben. This is weird.
 Ben wins (unfairly),
saying that in order to
survive, you must cheat
in fights with strangers.
What a great piece of
wisdom.
 Poor Willy, looking for
approval and trying to
keep Ben around, starts
going off about how even
though he’s a city
slicker and a salesman,
he is still a manly man
(think loincloths and
hunting). Willy sends his
sons to steal lumber (!)
so they can show their
uncle how manly they
are.

Group 4:

 Here comes more

confusion. You just met
real Charley, but now
enters imaginary Charley.
 Imaginary Charley enters
the kitchen just as young
Happy and Biff run off to
steal some wood for a
building project.
 Charley warns Willy that
he’s got to stop them
from stealing or they’ll get
in big fat trouble (like jail).
 Everyone erupts into a
shouting match and Willy
insults Charley’s
manliness.
 Everyone leaves the
stage except Ben and
Willy.
 Willy confesses that he’s
scared he’s not raising
his boys well and begs
Ben to stay and tell him
stories about their father.
But Ben’s not so nice (if
you hadn’t noticed) and
he leaves.
 So Willy’s been chatting
and fighting with lots of
imaginary figures tonight,
 but we think that’s just
about it for delusions, at
least for the time being,
because here comes real
Linda.
 Now we’re back in real
time. Linda wants to
know what on earth is
going on.
 Willy wanders outside,
insisting he needs a walk.
 Real Biff and Happy
come into the kitchen,
freaked out. Their mom
says that Willy’s behavior
is worse when Biff is
around. She tells Biff to
stop drifting and to show
his father some respect.
 Things heat up. Linda
tells Biff to stay away
from his father. Biff
retorts that his father
treats her terribly, and
calls Willy crazy.
 Linda, deeply offended,
responds that her
husband is simply
exhausted. (Yes, she’s
clearly deluding herself.)
 Now she admits that
Willy’s boss cut his salary
and they’re struggling
financially. Their dad has
been borrowing money
from Charley every week
to pay the bills.
 Linda accuses her sons
of being ungrateful and
oblivious.
 Biff responds that Willy’s
a fake but won’t explain
why.
 To smooth out the
situation, Biff tells Linda
he’ll get a job and give
them half his paycheck.
 As if things were not bad
enough, Linda
announces that Willy’s
been trying to kill himself
in car "accidents." Also,
she’s found a short length
of rubber pipe attached to
the fuse box (it seems he
was trying to gas
himself).
 Linda tells Biff that Willy’s
 life is in his hands, so he
must be careful.
 Biff says he’ll straighten
out, but he just wasn’t
made to work in the
business world.
 Willy walks in. Almost
immediately, he and Biff
begin to argue.
 Happy, the peacemaker
interrupts and says that
Biff is going to see Bill
Oliver the following
morning to get a business
loan.
 Willy is all happy and
perky for about two
seconds before father
and son are at it again.
 Happy strikes again,
trying to make the
situation... happy. He tells
his dad that he and Biff
are thinking of starting a
sporting goods line in
Florida.
 Excitedly, Willy starts
telling Biff how to behave
around Oliver, who is in
the sporting goods
business. He acts as if
they’ve already sealed a
million-dollar deal.
 Somehow angered again,
Willy storms upstairs.
Linda and the boys follow
him. The boys say
goodnight and are
lectured about their
greatness.
 Biff wanders downstairs
alone while Linda
desperately tries to sing
Willy to sleep.
