Death of a Salesman

1. Willy wants his sons to work hard to make it in life. He is a hard working sales man, and thinks that his sons can achieve success through hard work like he did. This is an important value to be teaching his sons, as they went through high school being very popular and having alot going for them, but now find themselves back at home without work. This concept is very worthwhile to teach young men. Hard work will prevent you from taking your success for granted, and make you work for all that you earn.

2. Willy lives a stressed overworked life. He is getting old, and is beginning to lose his sense. This causes him to have conflicting views, and he thinks too much about unimportant things. His wife Linda plays along with him and supports all that he says. I think that this has two effects, for in the short term it helps Willy and herself, as he won't snap at her and he won't get distressed. However, letting it continue can prevent him from ever stopping. I think she should continue doing what she is doing, as it is not completely harmful to anyone.
