The paradox and importance of the title
Willy, the salesman, kills himself in the name of what he perceives; that is capitalism. This is the critique Miller puts forward. He does so by exposing the paradoxical nature of a system. This paradox is exposed by their constant appearances and recurrence.
“Killing in the name of” by Rage Against the Machine, has death as first word and name as for salesman. Willy kills in the name of capitalism. This metaphorical analogy is crucial because Willy kills himself, so he kills. And the in the name of, can be applied to the different plausible reasons for why he committed suicide. he killed himself in the name of money, for 20 thousand. he killed himself in the name of family, although he misperceives the value of his life, as put forward by the constant paradox behind the idea. The world is meant to be paradoxical, but it is not meant! (QUOTING MYSELF in terms of existentialism in extension to what i have said in my other post)
