This world has always had a sense of sexism. The 1950s played a huge role  in demonstrating that woman were inferior to men. As this may have been true in the 1950s, I still find that in todays world many men still think that woman are still inferior. Woman are equal to men in all aspects. Although some woman may not be able to do a certain job that men can do, men cannot do certain jobs that woman can do.

Nothing is meant to last forever. In Death Of a Salesman the porch is collapsing in. The significance of this is that the family is falling apart.  When things break you have to fix them, in this case Willy does nothing to help fix his family. The porch is old but it could be fixed. The family has fallen apart due to many things but mostly because Willy cannot fix it.  The porch is not the only thing that is falling apart. The other things signifies the little things in life that are also falling apart.

Time is something that no one should take for granted. For Willy, without having a clock to tell the time Willy is constantly stuck in the past. Without time the world would be an absolute disaster. There is only a limited amount of time in the day, so to take it for granted would be a bad decision.
