Performance Analysis: Death of a Salesman

In this rendition of Death of a Salesman, the wife appears to be constantly agitated. Her voice inflects with apprehension and she speaks quickly. She appears to be in a state of constant urgency. Her tone at the beginning of the play allows us to make interpretive leaps such as assuming that there will be major familial conflicts throughout the play.

    This is an interesting thing to point out. I wonder if the director asked her to portray it this way, or if it was the actress's choice. Ether way, interesting interpretation of the character.
