The Meaning of Music in Death of a Salesman by Arthur MillerHuman emotions are something we rarely find a way to express clearly: from simple hand gestures , to a disgusted face. To understand his novel more deeply, Arthur Miller uses the most understandable method of understanding, music, to express the emotions of the characters in his play "Death of a Salesman". The characters, Willy, Linda, Biff, Happy, and Ben, have a certain style of music and instruments that portray them to show the reader what kind of emotional person they are. The beginning of the opera begins with a soft, sweet flute medley. which heralds Willy's gradual journey home from Yonkers. This slow melody of confusion ends abruptly when Willy returns home and tells his troubles to Yonkers. This sentimental sound is heard once again during Ben's first visit to Willy's house. His story as a father and his flute-making business sets a warm tone only to be shattered by Ben's action of throwing Biff, a young and curious boy, helplessly to the ground. The final performance of this melody is heard at Willy's sad funeral, where Linda pays homage to her well-liked husband. Ending on a sad note, the flute appears in a time of strange emotions. At the beginning of the work, a state of confusion... in the middle of the paper... Illy's funeral. It's a little happy at first, the melody fades from a major to a minor key, then going from a happy sound to one of sadness and desperation, but a good sound for a well-deserved tribute. Willy was a deceitful salesman. He wanted the best for his boys. Joyful songs have always accompanied these times. But when his desire for the best turned to the worst, an unpleasant song sustained him. When Willy was confused, a mixture of the two was heard. Human emotions are something we all take for granted because they are not properly understood. Music is just one of the many ways that will make these emotions understandable.
