    even care for him, new stockings, all the while Linda, who does nothing but shower him with her utmost affection, is stuck mending her old ones. Through this factor and all the supplementary aspects of Willy's affair Miller proves to the audience that Loman is unaware of the difference between love and well-likeness. It is not so much so the definition that Loman is not able to distinct, in this case, but rather in contrast in intrinsic value. The play's protagonist understands that the two do not equate, however, he mistakenly places more value on being well-liked then being loved.…

    At the beginning of the flashback, Willy is shown as talking to young Biff and Happy, and representing a more stereotypical parent than he appears in the present time scenes of the play. He is full of guidance, providing knowledge to his children, as a typical parent would, saying "Just wanna be careful with those girls Biff" which also shows a protective side to him. He also says "You want to watch your schooling first", as he knows what is better for his children, and looks out for them. This could also represent a calmer side to Willy, as he is not frustrated by his children, and instead calmly provides advice, allowing the audience to wonder why he has changed so much. However, some of his personality appears to be similar, as his mercurial…

I was there for the times that you were hiding behind the glass hoping no one would notice you. But, that’s the thing, you aren’t afraid of this life or these people or these memories.

    In both Death of a Salesman and A Raisin in the Sun, the stories are centered around a family. Each of the families is run differently and the relationships between family members are very dissimilar. Although Lena obviously does more for her children than Willie does, the real reason she is a better parent is that her actions are fueled by a genuine love for her kids, rather than a selfish need to feel important, allowing her to make decisions that are truly in the best interest of her children. In attempts to help Biff graduate, Willy suggests participating in immoral behavior to help him get through school easier.…

    Fifty years ago, when I was a boy of fifteen and helping to inhabit a Missourian village on the banks of the Mississippi, I had a friend whose society was very dear to me because I was forbidden by my mother to partake of it. He was a gay and impudent and satirical and delightful young black man--a slave--who daily preached sermons from the top of his master's woodpile, with me for sole audience. He imitated the pulpit style of the several clergymen of the village, and did it well, and with fine passion and energy. To me he was a wonder. I believed he was the greatest orator in the United States and would some day be heard from.…

    In my diary entry, I chose to write a letter from Biff to Willy. These are the characters of the Death of a Salesman by the author, Arthur Miller. I did this to show how Biff felt about his’s and his father’s belief. From what I have read in the play, it seems to me that Biff was living in an unhappy and unsuitable life in New York. As the author states in the book, Biff had tried to do whatever he can to please his dad, not because he was interested in the job.…

    During the play, an important discussion between Biff, Linda, and Happy occurs regarding the paternal alpha figure in the play, Willy. Prior to this discussion Willy displays himself as a hardworking, forgetful, and prided man. These traits begin to contradict each other which lead to this discussion about how Biff feels towards his father. There are many underlying factors that lead to why Willy has created this gossip between his kin, the concealment of the truth, and the solitude of Biff’s emotions. All of this can be scientifically traced back to the physiological impact of the Stock Market crash of 2008 and the stereotypes of its influence.…
