Summary and Explanation

Miller divided Death of A Salesman into only three sections: Act I, Act II and a short Requiem. For purpose of examination and explanation, we have divided the work into seven smaller portions, or "chunks." We started a new chunk when new themes, characters, or plot points are introduced. The following table of contents gives the approximate page numbers of the start of each chunk.

Act I

Chunk 1 page 1
Chunk 2 page 29
Chunk 3 page 41
Chunk 4 page 52

Act II & Requiem

Chunk 5 page 70
Chunk 6 page 99
Chunk 7 page 123
