折射美国社会文化的多棱镜———《推销员之死》《推销员之死》是美国剧作家阿瑟·米勒的成功剧作,它有着高超的艺术价值和深刻的社会意义。
1949年2月该剧在纽约百老汇公演,创造了连续上演742场的成绩,为米勒赢得了当年美国的三项大奖:普利策戏剧奖、纽约戏剧评论奖和美国舞台艺术成就最高奖项“托尼戏剧音乐奖”。
《推销员之死》的剧情围绕63岁的主人公———推销员威利·洛曼生命的最后24小时展开,但米勒借助表现主义的手法将威利心头的往事片断穿插进来,让观众看到了他忙碌的一生。
年轻时的威利雄心勃勃,希望通过推销这个职业发家致富;威利的两个儿子年少时也是他的骄傲,尤其是身为足球健将的长子比弗。
但命运没有让威利得偿所愿,他的事业越来越不景气,在为公司闯荡了30多年后却落得个被解雇的下场,不但没有发财,到老反而负债累累;而他的两个儿子30出头还一事无成。
失望中的威利最后选择了自杀来为儿子获得两万美元的保险金,把自己未能实现的成功梦寄托在儿子的身上。
该剧的上演在美国引起了轰动,阿瑟·米勒对人物及其生活的描写近乎新闻记者的报道,剧中的主要人物既真实又富有个性。
而使千千万万人感动的不仅是剧本对人物生动而准确的刻画,更重要的是它所展现的美国社会和文化中一些最具深远影响的层面。
一、美国梦———美国文化永恒的主题“美国梦”是评论家们总结《推销员之死》主人公悲剧命运时最常用的词。
几百年来美国人相信在这片充满机会的土地上只要辛勤劳动就会取得成功,而且这种意识已经深入人心,它既有庸俗的一面,又是美国人和美国社会向前发展的动力。
《推销员之死》中的威利·洛曼就是美国梦的一个忠实追随者。
从剧情分析,威利生活在19世纪末到20世纪上半叶,这一时期有关白手起家的宣传很多,比如一位名叫康威尔(Russell H. Conwell)的教长写了一本名为《无数的钻石》(Acres of Diamonds)的书,在1870年至1915年之间他就该书作了5124次的演讲,核心内容是鼓励人们发财致富。

Death_of_A_Salesman《推销员之死》(中文版)
推销员之死?? Death of A Salesman Arthur Miller 1949 2 第一幕一支笛子独奏曲悠扬可闻。
笛声细弱,娓娓动人,表达出草木和天地的自然情景。
幕启。
面对我们的是推销员的屋子。
我们意识到屋子后面以及四周密密层层的都是高耸入云、有棱有角的大楼轮廓。
只有天际泛出的蓝色清辉洒落在屋子和前台上;周围地区呈现出一种橙红的炽热灯光。
随着灯光越来越强烈,我们看到一排公寓房子那结构坚实的拱顶围着这幢外表脆弱的小屋。
这地方弥漫着一股梦幻的气氛,一种来自现实的梦境。
舞台中心的厨房似乎还其实,因为厨房里有一张炊桌,三把椅子和一只冰箱。
可是看不到别的厨房用具。
厨房后面是门口,挂着门帘,通起居室。
厨房右边,高出舞台平面两英尺的是间卧室,家具只有一张铜床和一把靠背椅。
床头上方一个搁板上搁着一个体育比赛的银质奖杯。
一扇窗子正好朝着公寓房子的侧面。
厨房后面,高出舞台平面六英尺半的是儿子的卧室,眼下简直看不大清楚。
隐隐只见两张床,卧室后面是一扇老虎窗。
(这间卧室就在那间看不见的起居室的楼上)左边有座楼梯从厨房弯上这间卧室。
整个场景全部是透明的,或者有些地方部分透明。
屋顶的外形只见轮廓;在屋顶下边和上边都看得到公寓房子。
屋前是台口,弯出前台,直通乐池。
这块舞台前区不仅是威利一切幻想场面和城里情景的演出场所,而且也作为屋子的后院。
凡是剧情发生在目前,演员必须遵守想象中的墙壁界限,只能由左侧的门走进屋子。
但在过去的场景里,这些界限都打破了,剧中人物出入房间可以任意“跨过”一堵墙走上前台。
推销员威利??洛曼从右边上场,拎了两只大样品箱。
笛子继续吹奏。
他听到笛声,但并不注意。
他已年过六十,衣着朴素。
甚至在他穿过舞台走到屋门口时,就一望而知他已筋疲力尽。
他开了门锁,走进厨房,谢天谢地的放下手里的箱子,揉揉酸疼的掌心。
不由松了口气,嘴里嘀咕着“哎呀呀,好家伙!哎呀呀,好家伙!”他关上门,随即跨过挂着帘子的厨房门口,把箱子拎进起居室。
推销员之死
Betrayal:
Willy’s primary obsession throughout the play is what he considers to be Biff’s betrayal of his ambitions for him. Willy believes that he has every right to expect Biff to fulfill the promise inherent in him. When Biff walks out on Willy’s ambitions for him, Willy takes this rejection as a personal affront. Willy assumes that Biff’s betrayal stems from Biff’s discovery of Willy’s affair with The Woman—a betrayal of Linda’s love. Whereas Willy feels that Biff has betrayed him, Biff feels that Willy, a “phony little fake,” has betrayed him with his unending stream of ego-stroking lies.

“When we pick up our newspaper at breakfast, we expect, we even demand that it bring us momentous events since the night before. We turn on our car radio as we drive to work and expect "news" to have occurred since the morning paper went to press. Returning in the evening, we expect our house not only to shelter us, to keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but to relax us, to dignify us, to encompass us with soft music and interesting hobbies, to be a playground, a theater, and a bar. We expect our two week vacation to be romantic, exotic, cheap, and effortless. We expect a faraway atmosphere if we go to a nearby place; and we expect everything to be relaxing, sanitary, and Americanized if we go to a faraway place. We expect new heroes every month, a new literary masterpiece every week, a rare sensation every night. . . .

The American Dream is closely tied up with the literary works of another author, Horatio Alger. This author grew famous through his allegorical tales which were always based on the rags-to-riches model. He illustrated how through hard work and determination, penniless boys could make a lot of money and gain respect in America.

Death of a Salesman and the
American Dream
Death of a Salesman is considered by many to be the quintessential modern literary work on the American dream, a term created by James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book, The Epic of America. This is somewhat ironic, given that it is such a dark and frustrated play. The idea of the American dream is as old as America itself: the country has often been seen as an empty frontier to be explored and conquered. Unlike the Old World, the New World had no social hierarchies, so a man could be whatever he wanted, rather than merely having the option of doing what his father did.
