Reading vs. Watching

I think this is definitely one of those plays that it would be better to watch it than to simply read the script. This is mainly because of the flashbacks that Willy experiences. It was hard to discern at times what was in the present day and what was a memory. The most confusing memory in my opinion was the first one of The Woman. It speaks of her and says she is laughing as Willy talks to his wife Linda. When I first read it I was quite confused. Why didn't Linda have a problem with this other woman being there. It seemed odd until I really understood what was going on. I think watching a stage production would make the plot much more understandable.
