The Death of a Salesman

 

The Death of a Salesman is an intriguing piece of literature. I think (The Death of a Salesman) is very interesting because of the time period in which it takes place. In this play-write it shows the amount of pressure put on Biff and Happy, the sons of Willy Loman, to become successful business men.

If I were privileged enough to get to pick the cast members for the movie Death of a Salesman they would be: Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Helen Hunt.

                Tom Hanks would play the role of Willy Loman.  Willy is a family man, he is married to Linda Loman and has two sons by the name of Biff and Happy. Willy is a salesman. He is also old and senile. He mumbles to himself all the time and always has big plans. He puts a lot of pressure on his two boys to succeed and follow in his footsteps. Tom Hanks would be a very good actor for this role because he is so diverse. He has played in so many great movies.

                Brad Pitt would play the role of Happy Loman because Happy is supposed to be really good with the ladies. Happy is the youngest son of Willy and Linda Loman. Happy has big dreams of his future but he lacks motivation.  Brad Pitt would be ideal for this role because he has a great deal of luck with women. Brad has also starred in many great movies and is a good actor.

                Helen Hunt would play the role of Linda Loman. Linda Loman is Willy Loman wife. She cares a great deal about her husband Willy. She is there for Willys support at all times. She is a very easy going woman who supports Willys ideas. I think Helen Hunt would be great for this role. Helen, in this role could play Linda almost to a tee. She seems like the motherly type.
