Theme Matching

This worksheet helps students analyze theme through eight important quotes from Death of a Salesman. Students read each quote, determine which of the four themes it best represents, and record the letter in the corresponding box. By distinguishing between themes such as The American Dream, Betrayal, Illusion vs. Reality, and Family Loyalty, students deepen their thematic comprehension. The matching grid format encourages careful reading and comparison among quotes. This activity strengthens students’ ability to interpret figurative meaning, understand authorial intent, and connect dialogue to broader thematic messages.
