Is it possible to control your whole life? Is there a way to know how your life will turn out before it happens? In the play of "Death of the Salesman" Willy loman faces these questions. Willy Loman was a simple man who was a salesman. Since Willy thought that his life was so simple he thought that he could control everything to it. Willy Loman thought that he could control the aspect of his job, he thought he could control how successful his kids were going to be in business and most of all the thought he could control how people had felt about him. In a way Willy Loman was living in his own little world were he had control when in fact his life had control over him. As this is seen Willy Loman doesn't realize that life is unpredictable you cant control every detail of were you work, what happens to your life nor can you control how people feel about you.
             Willy Loman feels that he has control over were he works. He feels that if he wants to make his life a little easier he can go to his boss and ask him to move him from working in New England to New York. As Willy leaves his house for Howard's (Willy's boss) office he says to his wife Linda "I'm gonna knock Howard for look, kid Ill get an advance and Ill come home with a New England job" (74). Willy Loman feels that he is in charge of his life. He thinks that since he worked for a sales company for a long time he can get what he wants. In fact, Willy Loman has no control over whether he will get the job in New York.
