"The American Dream". This is what most every American wants. To have wealth and prosperity. In the book Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, Willy Loman in pursuing this dream through all means. Willy Loman, a man in his 50's has worked hard all his life to bring what every parent wants for their family, everything. In Death of a Salesman Willy Loman has to go through hard times to try to bring this to his family. At the beginning of this drama Mr. Loman is just getting home from his job as a salesman. Where he drives a total of 500 miles a week to sell pointless items to pointless towns (Miller, 16). Mr. Loman's kids love their father very much and only want the best for him. Happy, which in known as Hap is a man in his early 30's who goes through business troubles himself and moves back in with his father and mother. Biff is younger than Happy and is an energetic man who wants to pursue his father's footsteps. Willy is very happy when his two boys move back in and hurries to make the best out of every day. Willy is not a type of individual who takes laziness, all his life he has got n
Willie's wife Linda knows that Willy in having hard times but does not say anything she just tries to cope with it and help (Miller, 154). Mostly with Biff and Happy he talks to them about school or how they're going to be great men when they grow up and how everyone will like them. Even though Willy did not gain the dream as Biff would say he is still "a dime a dozen". To be better then the next guy and provide for your family. "The American Dream", to Willy this was the only purpose in life. At the end of the play this is one of his last futile attempt to plant seeds in the backyard. He has always wanted a garden but the grass doesn't grow in the backyard. That night Willy has to meet with his sons at a bar to talk about Biff getting money to build a store called "Loman & Sons" when Biff tells Willy that he didn't get the money Willy has no hope for anything anymore. Willy was too wrapped up in getting ahead of the next guy that he never stopped to see what was happening around him, that his world was falling apart. Willy does not take this well since he helped him get his job in the first place. Willy believes that to be well liked you must be successful. Willy believes that he and his sons have what it takes to become successful businessmen but he is mistaken.
