Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman is a devastating American tragedy following Willy Loman, an aging salesman whose belief in the American Dream crumbles as he faces failure and obsolescence. Through Willy's fragmented memories and desperate present, Miller exposes the hollow promises of success and the human cost of a system that values people only for their productivity. The play becomes a searing critique of capitalism and a heartbreaking portrait of a man who believed the lies he was sold.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Miller understood that the American Dream is often a nightmare in disguise. Death of a Salesman remains essential because it shows us what happens when we measure human worth by economic success, and how that measurement destroys the people who can't keep up.
