And like Willy, he is also unsatisfied with his life. He has a nice personality, hence the nickname “Happy,” but in reality he is not a good person; he only thinks of himself. For example, at the beginning of the play he tells Biff that he slept with his boss’s fiancé.…

    He should have dreamt of becoming the best handyman or carpenter. It is apparent that Willy found fulfillment in repairing and building things like with the ceiling, where there is hint of enthusiasm and wanted recognition for his work when he asked Charley if he saw the ceiling he put up. Charley responded by saying, “Yeah, that’s a piece of work… How do you do it?”[pg.34] ‘Piece of work’ insinuates the fact that the ceiling is so skillfully and excellently done that it can be considered a piece of work.

    Willy Loman Shame

    In his essay, Shame, Guilt, Empathy, and the Search for Identity in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Fred Ribkoff describes how the play, Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller, “dramatizes the way in which feelings of shame shape an individual’s sense of identity” (Ribkoff 121). The play’s protagonist, Willy Loman, has a distorted sense of himself. His true sense of identity is buried under many layers of denial and fanciful lies. Willy is aware of his shortcomings, yet due to the shame that they cause him to feel, he suppresses his awareness, resulting in his tragic inability to accept the harsh reality of his life as a whole. It often appears as if Willy is unaware of his own shortcomings, both to the other characters in the play and…
