Miller uses the Loman family - Willy, Linda, Biff, and Happy - to construct a self-perpetuating cycle of denial, contradiction, and order versus disorder.
The play concludes with Willy's suicide and subsequent funeral. The play is a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations, and arguments, all of which make up the last 24 hours of Willy Loman's life. Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man's inability to accept change within himself and society.
