Death of a salesman

Willy is an elderly, traveling salesman, who is lost in false hopes. One way his American dream has changed more into a nightmare is the simple fact that he is not getting paid. The sales firm he works for is no longer paying Willy his salary. He is working on straight commission, so

. . .
He eventually ended up committing suicide so that his family would get the money from the insurance policy. After Willy being at the same firm for the past thirty-four years and trying his best, they have basically just used Willy himself, his hard work and his energy and now just left him in the cold with nothing. It seemed that will had worked to the best of his abilities and was left with nothing. Biff had planned on making the credit up during the summer, but he caught his father, Willy, being unfaithful to Linda, his wife, to the Woman. This incident had a great impact on Biff and therefore changed his view of his father and everything Biff believed in.

As it is seen, Willy was a very insecure man who led a very frustrating and guilty life. Now, because Willy stops getting paid, he goes to his neighbor Charlie, who owns his own sales firm. Willy’s wish also did not come true because only his family and his neighbor Charlie attended the funeral. therefore he cannot bring home enough money to pay for his and his family’s bills. Willy’s guilt continued to build up over time and was just too much for him. He was unfaithful, but he did work hard, and in some ways should have been rewarded for his hard work, like I feel everyone should be in our world today. It actually is a quite upsetting play. AT the funeral of a salesman, usually everyone attends because the person is well known. In some cases this can be true, but it definitely was not shown here. Willy always wanted his sons to succeed, especially Biff, but they obviously are failures.
