The play Death of a Salesman is a tragic drama about an elderly salesman who tries to do everything he can to support his family and make them lead a successful life . Struggling salesman Willy Loman has two sons, Biff and Happy, who he tries to raise to success. Willy believes that being well-liked and making a good impression are the keys to success and tries to teach this philosophy to his two children. Biff, being Willy's favorite son, worked as a laborer and Willy believes that Biff can do much more with his life. Although Biff is happy, he does not meet Willy's criteria for success. Biff is unable to achieve Willy's dream because Willy's idea of ​​success is not a life Biff wants to pursue. Biff Loman, a highly successful high school football player, was supposedly destined for great things after high school. However, Biff failed to graduate from high school due to failing a math class, and also failed to complete his class during summer school, due to the argument he had with his father. The discussion was enlightening, as Biff discovered that his father was unfaithful to his mother: “You…you gave her mama's stockings…don't touch me, you…liar…you're fake! You little fake fake! You are false!“ (95). This is the moment in the play where Biff loses all respect for his father. Due to failure to graduate, he lost his athletic scholarship to the University of Virginia. Since then, Biff has worked as a laborer in the West earning no more than thirty-five dollars a week. He is happy there but realizes that there is not much future in that job and ends up returning home without a job. Willy can't understand how everything could have gone wrong for Biff. Willy has always been and… in the center of the paper… him” (111). This play has a story that I feel a lot of people can relate to. In my case, my father would prefer me to follow in his footsteps in medicine, but he says to do what I like. While I certainly wouldn't rule this field out, it's nice to know that if I want to do something different, I have the support of my family. In conclusion, Biff will not follow in Willy's footsteps because he has no motivation or desire to enter the business world. Willy dies thinking that his life has been a success thanks to the money he leaves for his son when this is not the case, at least as he thinks. Biff frees himself from Willy's false dream and tells Happy, “He had the wrong dreams. Everything, everything wrong… He never knew who he was” (111). Happy ends up getting money to start a business and although this wasn't Willy's main goal; it is something rather than nothing.
