  In L. Domina's Literary Criticism of Arthur's Miller Death of a Salesman, Domina exclaims how the lack of trust in the Lohman's household created a countless amount of issues included the death of the anti-hero Willy Lohman. Domina analyzes how the ability to tell the truth and communicate had a grave effect on each of the members of the Lohman family. Each member had a secret but what they did not know that their secret was having an effect on another. Domina asserts her claim by pointing out how the lack of trust was constant throughout the novel. All the textual support used in Domina's essay strengthen her argument because she was able to portray the Lohman family issues that they tried to avoid, but which needed to be address in order for them to move on with their lives. Domina focuses on the fact that the family was broken but in order for them to protect their name and also to keep Willy Lohman for feeling ashamed, they brushed all their problems to the side and put on a facade that everything was going great in their lives. Domina came to a conclusion that the secrets in the Lohman household were not the literal ones that are stated in the novel but those secrets lead to Willy's failure as a salesman and also the subsequent failures of his sons. The assumptions made in her essay were probably formulated by the fact that Willy claims that his family is a strong family but their flaw exceed that of most strong family's which lead to the failures that occurred with him and his sons.
