In agreement with the submission from a reader in the USA, I too found with book very insightful on the makeup of Willy Lomans pyschiatric state of mind. Most mandatory highschool books or plays follow a theme not relevant to a teenager. As for this play, many teens can relate to Willy's state of mind in depression, confusion, or even the relationship with his "significant other" (Linda or 'the woman'). Arthur Miller wrote this play from a personal aspect which makes this play seem more believable then some of William Shakespeares. A great play for an OAC student or Grade 12 to study. Short in length and packed with english aspects to critique.
