Biff becomes overwhelmed by his father’s unrealistic expectations and proceeds to act on his inclination to move out.

Willy is a man with a vision to live out the American Dream. He has a concerned but loving wife, Linda, and his two sons, Happy and Biff. A salesman is somebody way up there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine.In the movie, The Death of a Salesman, written by Arthur Miller, Willy Loman is a businessman from New York City.He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention must finally be paid to such a man.'Willy Loman is here!' That's all they have to know, and I go right through. You take me for instance, I never have to wait in line to see a buyer. Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead. That's why I thank Almighty God you're both built like Adonises. That's just what I mean, Bernard can get the best marks in school, y'understand, but when he gets out in the business world, y'understand, you are going to be five times ahead of him.
