I missed your reply till now. I agree with what you wrote. I meant to reply to Michael but never did. In my earlier post, I wasn't trying to say that the Lomans were Jewish, but merely that they seemed Jewish to me in spite of Miller's trying to remove most every trace of Jewishness from them. Death of a Salesman is a great play, but there is some truth to what McCarthy and others have said. I think the Jewishness can't help but come through in some ways, but, yeah, the lack of specificity is arguably a problem in the play.

Thanks for that, Alan. We can certainly trade opinions on this issue (I'm not sure exactly what I think about it), but after Michael's first reply to me I felt like I was crazy. And I knew that allegation (not about my sanity, but about the Jewishness issue) had been made.
