|
Many symbols are incorporated into the play "Death of a Sales man" and
|
|
they in turn relate to both character and theme. The hose, tape recorder
|
|
and th e seeds are some of these symbols.
|
|
|
|
The hose in Miller's drama directly relates to the theme of d eath.
|
|
The hose is a line attached to the gas main in Willy's house which allows
|
|
him to snif f the gas. This action can be seen as Willy's suicide wish, and
|
|
escape from the realities of life. As seen in the loss of his job and his
|
|
failure to succeed. The hose also represents grief and deception. For when
|
|
Linda, Willy's wife, finds the hose, she is distraught over its in tended
|
|
purpose. The deceptive nature of the hose is apparent when Willy is
|
|
confronted about it by Biff his son and Willy denies its existence. A
|
|
similar denial is also evident when Willy is confronted with the tape
|
|
recorder in Howard's office.
|
|
|
|
The tape recorder signifies the change in Willy's life throug h the
|
|
advancement of technology. It also represents the end of Willy's career.
|
|
This is brought about when Howard, Willy's boss and godson, shows the tape
|
|
recorder to Willy and appe ars to be more interested in the sound and
|
|
technology of the machine instead of Willy, who i s fighting for his job.
|
|
Howard no longer need s Willy's services and without concern fires him.
|
|
This , to Willy, was like, "eating the orange and throwing away the peel".
|
|
However, Willy is partly to blame, as he does not accept change and wants
|
|
to remain in the pas t. This is foreshadowed in the scene where Willy is
|
|
left alone with the tape recorder and is unable to shut it off. Willy
|
|
believes in using his old techniques and style to succeed. N evertheless,
|
|
in hi job, it is not what you know, but it is who you know. Willy is not up
|
|
to date with the business nor technology. Yet, Willy still has hope, and
|
|
wishes to leave some fo rm of support behind for his family as illustrated
|
|
in his planting of the seeds.
|
|
|
|
Willy feels that he must leave something behind something for Biff. In
|
|
Willy's imaginary world he wants Biff to be magnificent and he symbolicall
|
|
y plants seeds in his garden. In spite of such an action he is doomed to
|
|
fail. Willy sta rts planting the seeds at night, but at night there is no
|
|
sun shining and this seems very od d as seeds require light to grow. What
|
|
else is strange is the fact that Willy's house is boxed in between large
|
|
apartment buildings and is covered by the shadows cast by them. It is
|
|
eviden t that no light will fall on Willy's garden. Willy's attempt to
|
|
plant and grow seeds is futile, but he persist in his attempt to seek
|
|
reconciliation and forgiveness. Thus the hose, tape record er and the seeds
|
|
are all symbolic of Willy's dreams gone sour, and his inability to live in
|
|
the present. His death is inevitable and is mirrored by his life.
