Gotta break your neck to see a star in this yard.
– Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman, Act 1. Willy looks looks up at the sky from his city back yard, as he attempts to connect with the natural world. But he is unable to see the starry heavens because of the tall buildings blocking him in from all sides. The theme of nature vs city is illustrated here, with Willy yearning to escape to nature but feels trapped by life in Brooklyn.
