“He visits the sins of the father upon the children” and this is particularly true in the case of Willy and Biff Loman. If this proverb is true it bids ill for Biff Loman, whose father’s perverse interpretation of the American Dream ensures that his son will grow up to be grossly maladjusted and ill prepared for life as an adult. Biff is prone to narcissism, to kleptomania and is a broken individual. Biff’s social maladjustment is caused by his father’s superficial and delusional view of the…
