My first expression of the death of the salesman is that the book might happen in the past because the colour of the book is black and white. Furthermore, when reading the introduction about the capitalism, it shows me that this might happen during racism or war that makes people, such as black people, try to achieve something that they want but they aren’t allowed because of racism. Starting to read a couple of pages of the story, I have a feeling that Willy, a husband and father in black family, is a cruel and bad-tempered person because he gets annoyed when his wife, Linda, asks him if he wants to eat or drink anything. Linda is a caring, kind and forgiving person who always cares for Willy.
