The two-act tragedy explores this desperation as Loman attempts to reconcile his life.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1v7jlt_0mxC2Q1H00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1v7jlt_0mxC2Q1H00" width="1169" height="780" ></figure>In 1949, Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, as well as that year’s Tony Award and New York Drama Critics’ Award for Best Play.
