What a tragedy

The movie was incredibly sad. I knew that he would die, obviously. But when Linda said, "We made the last payment on the house today," on the day of his funeral, it was just heart wrenching. I really liked Willy; though he wasn't really grown up, he still was able to capture ones attention and make them become attached. I sympathize for Willy because some people (like Willy) set their standards and goals way too high and end up failing in the end. I also sympathize with the whole family because Happy nor Willy were any good at what they were trying to do with their lives, and Biff was good at what he liked but he couldn't make a living off of it.
I think Linda showed the most strength within the whole family. She always had faith in her husband and sons, though neither of them were could at anything. She also showed extreme compassion towards those men. Many women would have left 25 years ago, but Linda stayed.
All in all, the characters were all very interesting. I also think the producer picked out wonderful actors and actresses to play the roles of the characters. The movie itself was really interesting.

  1. I agree it was definiately the saddest thing when Linda said they had made the last payment on the house. Also you're right; they weren't really as good as they needed to be to make a name for themselves in their jobs.

  2. well the purples a little hard to read on here but all in all you made very good and valid points. I agree with you that Linda seemed to be the rock of the family and the ending of the movie was indeed very sad.
