Sometimes when cchildren are betrayed by their love ones they tend to struggle with anger the most, just as Biff was affected by infidelity in the movie, Death of a Salesman. While Willy tried to raise perfect sons, he wrestled with himself between reality and denial of his son Biff, catching him in the hotel room with his mistress while on a business trip in Boston. Biff was a great football player; many universities had offered him scholarships but during that year Biff fail math by one point and had gone to Boston to tell his father the devastating news and for his father to come home and ask his math teacher to give him the one point he needed to enter college. When Biff reaches Willy's hotel room in Boston, he sees his dad with another woman and this discovery made Biff see his father as a fake. Biff, said to his dad “you are a fake; you are a liar, a liar” (Miller, 1958).
Her accomplice is free from charges. In 1999, 57-year-old Michelle Byrom was accused of being the “mastermind of a murder-for-hire plot to kill her allegedly abusive husband.”(cnn.com).

Lily also lives with her father and she says in the book that it never felt right to call him dad so she just settled on T. Ray. T. Ray is abusive and convinces Lily that her mother’s death is all her fault by telling her that she picked up the gun and it went off in her hands and killed her mother and that her mother didn’t care about her at all and left her.

Also after her father dies she is in complete denial that he is dead and acts as though he is still alive until the townspeople almost have to use force to take the body away (par. 27). This also explains why the body of Homer Barron is kept after she kills him.

In this paper I will be providing a description of the criminal justice process starting with arrest and ending with a conviction and sentencing. For the purpose of this paper I have chosen to reference the Oscar Pistorius murder case where he killed his girlfriend.

Bombeck stated that she would call her sister to go out to lunch, only to be replied by tons of pointless excuses. Her sister eventually passed away, still to never have one lunch date with Bombeck.

Unlike Lester, Fitts seems satisfied with his identity and his family life. When confronted with his son’s lack of respect and self-restraint he reacts violently.
