He could recognize that his father’s perception of him is partial and subjective, his father does not know what Jim is doing with his time, and by Jim saying he likes to hang out with his friends does not mean (in his father’s eyes) that he is partying.

Biff cannot contain himself any longer and hugs Willy through his tears. Willy takes this as a sign of love and we see that he commits suicide for Biffs sake. Here Miller shows that although they have different beliefs they still love each other deep down and Willy sees this as being successful. The audience are touched by this and admire Willy for sacrificing his own life for the goodness of his son. In conclusion, “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller is a heartbreaking play which sees Willy’s beliefs get the better of him as he takes his own life.
Instead of following his true talent of building and becoming a carpenter, he went down the wrong path in life for himself. Willy was mixed up by what it actually means to have a good life, and that was his biggest failure. As Biff remarks, “He had the wrong dreams. All, all, wrong.”
There is a common theme shared by Death of a Salesman and Fences, which is fatherhood. Both main characters, Willy and Troy, are difficult to judge whether they are bad fathers. It is clear that both of them have some troubles with their sons, but that is not because of the fathers hate their sons. Willy loves his son Biff just like Troy loves his Cory; both men devote themselves into making their own sons into better men. Willy Loman has an American dream that he wants to be success.

As Biff understands how destructive his father’s lifetime of denial has been for both of them. “I’m nothing! I’m nothing, Pop.... Will you let me go, for Christ’s sake? Will you take that phony dream and burn it before something happens?” This last conversation between Willy and Biff establishes that Biffs knows and has learned that he and his father are both failures. Biffs words in his conversation are quite true; they also foreshadow Willy’s death in the

With the death of Macbeth, William Shakespeare shows an insight of a perfect example of a classic tragic hero. Despite bending a few rules, Shakespeare illustrates that if a character is not held by fate, causes their own downfalls and realizing it was their own fault, they are what many call a tragic hero. Being a tragic hero isn’t limited to just stories or plays, but can be applied in the real world as well.
