Death Of A Salesman

            Three of the writings that I read about this semester dealt with love. The sensation of love is an important ingredient in each of these writings. Each of the writings dealt with love from a different perspective. In each of these writings love is presented with a different theme. It is presented with the idea that love is an important emotion that is a basic need of each individual, with the idea that love can be blind to the truth, and also with the idea that genuine love is attracted to another's inner beauty. .
             In a Rose for Emily the theme of love tells us that love is an important emotion that is a basic need of each individual and it is important for each person to feel and know that they are loved. Love played was an important part of the plot of the story. The author used a narrator to dictate in first person the troubles of Miss Emily. The narrator told the story with the tone of sympathy. The narrator told how Miss Emily wanted to be loved more than anything. The narrator told how the lack of love drove her to insanity and motivated her to kill her lover so that he would stay a part of her life. The author used the foreshadowing of her father's death to explain her motivation for killing and preserving Homer's body.
             Love is blind was one of the themes in The Death of a Salesman. The theme that love is blind is conveyed thru the character of Linda Loman. The tone of Linda's character is love and devotion to Willy. Linda is the model of a loving, devoted, patient wife. She believes that Willy is the best man in the world and keeps supporting him. However, it's her blindness to the truth and constant support that contributes to the plot of the story and leads to Willy's death. The more she supports him, the more incorrect ideas she gives him. She loves him so much that she can't see the truth and she continues to feed his ego to make him feel better. She fails to help him escape from his illusory world.
