The storyline is tragic, yes, but so beautiful. Willy Loman is the everyman whose present life does not compare with his dreams and expectations, and ultimately he can't handle the disappointment. There's a lot of self-pity in that character, and it must be hard work to take yourself that seriously.....Willy needed to laugh more, and I am reminded to laugh more.
Marcel Proust. “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
Excellent (and glowing) New Yorker review here....
