Bloom has a collection of critiques and analysis from various writers including himself.

On page 11, in the first sentence of Neal Dolan of Harvard University's "Thematic and Structural Analysis" of the story, he states that a "great scholar of the western literary tradition" (whom he does not identify) has defined realism as the "serious" representation of the ordinary and of the life of the lower classes. This provides answers to many questions that I have had throughout most of my life regarding why so much modern literature is so depressing and uninspiring.

Bloom's collection of critiques dates from 1949 to 1992, and the book is copyrighted in 1996. Over time, the critiques evolve from treating the characters of the play as self-determined agents to treating them as victims of society. This is an interesting trend, yet not entirely surprising given the events and news of the last 60 years. Even Bloom himself succumbs to this deterministic philosophy of morality when he says that "Miller,..., wants to give us a Willy Loman who is destroyed by social energies." But what exactly are social energies? Google reveals that "Social energy comes from spending time in a stimulating environment with other people." However, my impression is that Willy Loman finds himself in a rather exciting and stimulating environment, filled with personal and business challenges. Nevertheless, Willy didn't experience his life in this way.

The best line in this book can be found on page 27, in "Arthur Miller on the Genesis of Death of a Salesman [1957]." Arthur Miller says, "... nothing in life comes 'next' but that everything exists together and at the same time within us; that there is no past to be 'brought forward' in a human being, but that he is his past at every moment and that the present is merely that which his past is capable of noticing and smelling and reacting to." This is an intriguing perspective on existence, echoing the ideas of the multi-verse that have become so popular in recent fiction (2022). However, what seems to be missing is the idea of possibility.

This most interesting line from this book is truly thought-provoking and adds depth to the overall discussion.

The original article seems a bit unclear. However, I'll try to rewrite and expand it based on what I understand.

The project could of been made better. There were several aspects that could have been improved upon.

For instance, the initial planning phase might not have been as comprehensive as it could have been. More in-depth research and analysis could have been conducted to identify potential issues and develop more effective solutions.

Moreover, the communication among the team members could have been enhanced. Clearer and more frequent communication would have ensured that everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goals.

Finally, the implementation process could have been more closely monitored and evaluated. Regular check-ins and adjustments could have been made to ensure that the project was progressing smoothly and meeting the desired outcomes.

In conclusion, while the project had its merits, there were definitely areas where it could have been made better. By addressing these issues in future projects, we can strive for even better results.

I taught this to my 5th year-IB English class.

Wow! The reaction was very impressive.

The students were engaged and seemed to really understand the concept.

It was interesting to see how they interacted with the material and how they were able to apply it in their discussions.

In March, I will be seeing this same concept presented in Dutch here in the NL.

I'm curious to see how the Dutch version will be received and if there will be any differences in the way it is taught and understood.

It will be a great opportunity to compare and contrast the two languages and cultures and to see how the same idea can be presented in different ways.

I'm looking forward to this new experience and to learning from it.

This book was a compulsory reading material during my high school days.

I vividly recall creating a diorama to illustrate the theme of isolation that was presented within the pages of the book.

The story is rather ironic, yet it holds an underlying sense of depression.

Despite this, it remains a literary masterpiece that is truly worthy of being read.

It offers valuable insights into the human condition and the various emotions and experiences that we encounter in life.

The author's skillful use of language and the development of the plot make it a captivating and engaging read.

Even after all these years, the book continues to resonate with readers and has stood the test of time as a classic work of literature.

It is a must-read for anyone who has an appreciation for great literature and wants to explore the deeper themes and ideas that are presented within it.
