Finished reading Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four not long after seeing Death of a Salesman at a local theater. Two very bleak stories to be sure. Nineteen Eighty Four might edge out Death of a Salesman in that there is absolutely no hope of things getting better for anyone at the end of the book. At least in Death of a Salesman Chip had enough self awareness that he might be able to salvage his future.
