Death of a sales man
There are arguments to support Willy being a hero, and arguments to support Willy being a villain. Willy did not have the friends and contacts that he claimed and emphasized that his boys should have. Most of his life became a lie to him and his family. Willy commits many faults that categorize him as a villain. The most important fault was the affair. He might have not wanted to do this on purpose but this does not make him any better. Maybe the affair first started out as a business relationship, but it did not end that way. This affair damaged the life of Biff who caught his father with the woman. Biff became disappointed and angry towards Willy. Willy was not the only one who faced consequences, so did Biff and Linda. Willy cheated on Linda and never said anything about the affair to her. He sometimes felt guilty about it. However by not saying anything to her he made her feel like she is no longer a part of is life and maybe even that she is inferior to him. He felt that he could not face her because of what he was doing behind her back. Willy was still ashamed of what he had done, even after the affair was over. An example for that is, that whenever he saw Linda knitting stockings he de
He always told his Biff and Happy to do good, but never set an example himself. He was never a great salesman and had no contacts anywhere. Willy made his family believe his lies. Lies that Willy began to believe in as well, so much that he couldn't distinguish what is real and what is not. Biff's dream was different from his father's dream. And even though Willy encouraged Biff not to attend summer school and therefore, never graduate, he still wanted Biff to follow his footsteps. Biff had been confused throughout many years and was always trying to find himself. When he came from the ranch to visit his family he tried to be in peace with Willy. Willy did not want to see him, because his son was working at a ranch and only received a small amount of money for is work. He did not approve of Biff's work on a ranch. He felt that at Biff's age of 34, he should have found himself and should have been settled into a good paying job. During Biff's visit, Biff realized what he wanted to do with the rest of his life, and finds himself. Despite of this, Willy still did not want his son to work on a ranch. He preferred his son to be successful and unhappy, than unsuccessful and happy. Willy becomes so into this idea that he never wants Biff to return to his house. By doing this, Willy is once again not encouraging his son to follow his dream and to be happy. mand
