Arthur Miller's play has been reproduced for a long time, and has been made into a film several times. Director Asghar Farhadi made a film set in Iran in the 21st century, showing the film (2017), which excludes "Death" from the original title. is not just a movie of . In , the play is summoned in the form of performing a play. There are many movies in this form, but is an exquisite fabrication so that the reality outside the play and the content in the play harmonize with each other. The play depicts the tragedy of the head of the family who falls at the end of the American dream. The movie transforms this tragedy into a conflict between a young couple living in Iran in the 21st century. In addition, is completed as an independent work that not only rearranged the space and characters of the original work, but also reinterpreted the meaning of death, creating the effect of media conversion such as theater and film.

더스틴 호프만이 아서 밀러의 대표작 '세일즈맨의 죽음'의 주인공 윌리 로먼 역할을 연기하는 것을 보면서 목이 메였던 적이 있다. 그 당시 내 남편과 아버지, 그리고 아들은 세일즈 맨이었다. 다행이도 내인생과 결부되어 있는 남자들은 불운했던 윌리로먼 보다는 훨씬 일을 잘 해냈다. 그러나 주문을 따내지 못하거나 결코 얘기해 준적이 없는 어떤 것에 대해 이제 막 알게되어 낙심하여 집으로 돌아오는, 지친 세일즈맨의 그 모습만은 유감스럽게도 너무나 흡사했다. 고객을 끌어들이고 끌어들인 고객을 유지한다는 근본 목표를 달성하고자 하는 오늘날의 외판원들은 윌리로먼이 알지 못했던 기술적 지원을 받을수 있다.

Death of a Salesman is centered on Willy Loman trying to achieve the American dream and taking his family along for the ride. This paper explores the meaning of his suicide in the work through the Adorno's theory on the individual's reification and commodity by an exchange value in the capitalism and argues that Bourdieu's capital classification shows the cause of his tragic decision. Reification refers to "the structural process whereby the commodity form permeates life in capitalist society." and Adorno called the reification of consciousness an epiphenomenon. The social-psychological level in Adorno's diagnosis serves to demonstrate the effectiveness and pervasiveness of late capitalist exploitation. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital can exist three forms: in the embodied state, in the objectifed state and in the instituionalized state. He states embodied capital is argued to be the most significant influence; however unlike other forms of capital (social, economic, etc.) obtaining embodied capital is largely out of the individuals' control as it is developed from birth. In conclusion, I suggest Death of a Salesman can be interpreted as a text criticizing the internalization of the subject, which is the result of the self-destructive mechanism of the subject in the logic of modern subject formation.
