Abstract: Death of a Salesman is the representative work of American playwright Arthur Miller. The author used superb writing skills to showcase the protagonist’s almost crazy inner world. In recent years, research on this drama has mostly focused on perspectives such as tragedy, loss of value, and the disillusionment of the American Dream, with few people conducting research and analysis from the perspective of trauma theory. This article will be based on trauma theory to explore the true cause of Willie Lohmann’s death from conflict, disorder, and failed repair which are the three general laws in the development of trauma.
