DOAS

Willy was a dreamer. In his eyes, being known and rising to the top was the best dream out there; it was all that mattered. He reached no such goal. Willy was a loving father who worked constantly and made it no where, a sad but true reality for many people. When Biff (the son he had the most hope for) came home, it reminded Willy of the failure he himself and his boys have came across. This caused the breakdown of Willy Loman. He began reminiscing in the past, and talking to people in his memories that weren't truly there. His boys were arrogant and didnt understand their father, as the story progressed they grew a further understanding for their Dad and began to sympathize.

  1. Your post was really interesting, and makes you think.

    I definately agree that the failure and judgement Willy faced added to his stress in realizing his dream of happiness.

  3. I agree with what you say about the sons. I couldn't quite figure out the right word to describe them, but arrogant definitely works! Great post!
