anthony burch after playing through scenes that portray actual child abuse in such a realistic and horrific way that i almost have to turn off the episode, none of the players are having fun anymore, and both he and beth are crying: but guys remember, willy's hot

What do you think Tom thinks of the play/film Death of a Salesman? It came out around the time he was working at Borgin and Burkes.
You know, I'm not sure he'd quite "get it". The thing about Death of a Salesman is it's incredibly American. I don't know how much a non-American, particularly someone from Wizarding Britain which can be very different culturally, would get out of it.
It's also about someone in a very different stage of life than Tom is (especially at the time). It's not just about our main character but also/especially his relationships with his sons and how we can see one of the sons (the one we might not expect) becoming his father because of how his father he treated him.
I see Tom thinking it's a decent play but I mostly see him responding "lol" to it in that it's about this poor man who works all his life like a dog, tries to sound impressive to his sons who he hopes will surpass him, ends up backed into a corner and killing himself, and then no one cares when he's dead and his wife has to demand people give a shit.
It's just one of those things he wouldn't really connect to and certainly feels isn't related to the life he himself leads even when he's working at Borgin and Burke's.
"And this is why you shouldn't try to live an ordinary and decent life" is what Tom would walk away with.

His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him.

I was just watching a summary of Death Of a Salesman and the guy goes:
"We never actually learn what product Willy is selling. The only thing he really seems to be selling, is himself."
DAMN that's a bar. And absolutely true.
