English Lit: AQA A Level Death of a Salesman, topic 2.1.1
Staging
It is important to remember that there are no scene changes in Death of a Salesman.
Remember:
- Although the play constantly flits between past and present, Miller wanted these transitions to be fluid, creating a “continuous present” where past and present blur into each other.
- Therefore, the following slides will break down each Act into ‘mini-scenes’ in order to allow in-depth analysis.
