- ... is not. Success is afforded or denied to a person if they qualify. In Death of a Salesman, I believe Willy Loman was not successful in anything he did because he lived in his own world.

He compares life to a flood saying that it carries people along through time, and he compares Paul and Clara's life as what makes up the world to what makes up a blade of grass or a tree. The most notable illustrative example is also an allusion from the Bible comparing Paul and Clara to, “ Adam and Eve when they lost their ... and connotation. Denotation is an indication or a sign. An example of this is the use of the word, “ nothingness” in line four. “Nothingness” in this sentence denotes Paul and Clara's insignificance to the world as a whole.
