In the play, Death of a Salesman, Biff Loman is introduced as thirty-four years old man who has still not yet found himself. Biff is the oldest son of Loman's family. Therefore, Willy Loman, his father, puts all the hopes on him. Willy is a salesman, and he always wants to be well like. This is also what he thinks Biff should be. But Biff refuses to do what his parents expect him to do, and he always fights and argues with Willy. The attitude starts off badly in their family. For the time Biff comes back home, he starts to care more about his family and gets to know the hard time they have. Throughout the play, Biff turns from immature to kind of mature and tries to get into business that his father always dreams for. Biff shows he is changing but in a difficult way.
At the beginning of the play, Biff fools around like a kid when he is thirty-four. He did not graduate from high school because he flunks math and he did not take the summer course. He supposes to take the summer course in order to graduate, but he met Willy in a hotel room in Boston. He found out that his father was having an affair with another woman. He is very angry with Willy: "You fake! You phony little fake! You fake!" (Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller in p.121) He feels that he has betrayed because it seems everyone of his family knows that Willy has an affair with another woman, only he does not know until he came to the hotel room in Boston. Therefore, he refuels to take the summer course, he runs away from home. He has tried many different kinds of job, but none of them can be success. "Biff: Hap, I've had twenty or thirty different kinds of jobs since I left home before the war, and it always turns out the same." (p.22) Then he comes back home because he still cannot find his future. "Biff: I tell ya, Hap, I don't know what the future is. I don't know-what I'm supposed to want."...
