Question

in death of a salesman when willy takes the stockings linda is mending from her hand what in the word miller uses to describe his movement

Answer 1

Answer:

Arthur Miller used the word "angrily" in describing Willy's actions in taking the stockings from Linda's hands.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "Death of A Salesman" tells the story of a salesman Willy who had an affair with his secretary while at the same time trying to make things work in his own household. He seemed to be a delusional man who believes things easily and has to be dependent on other for anything he does.

Even though he is the head of the family and a salesman, he seemed incapable of doing things the right way. His wife Linda is quite the opposite of him, staying loyal and true to her family even when she knows the reality of the situation. She chides her children to work hard and help their father, and she also is the first to realize the sui cide attempt/thoughts of her husband Willy. Willy, on the other hand, may be childlike at times and even talks unrealistically at times. His act of forcibly and "angrily" snatching the stockings that his wife was mending in Act I shows his pride in not letting her wear an old stocking even though he did not buy her a new one. Rather, we came to know that he had been buying his mistress new stockings every time.
