Death of a Salesman

In case you're interested, Mike Nichol's new Death Of A Salesman is subject to some penetrating review in Tablet magazine.
It mentions that Miller compared his play to King Lear.
Of course, he did; Lear was a putz, just like Loman was a putz, and just like Hidetora in Kurosawa's Ran was a total putz.
