D.O.S

In the book Death of a Salesman it shows who tells the truth and who tells the lie. As a reader I found out that Willy is very ambitious. " You and Hap and I, and I'll show you all the towns." - In this line I think that Willy is very ambitious because he is telling his son's  Biff and Happy about going to different states in America but he wasn't able to accomplish it. I also think that Willy is a cheater because when he was in Boston he was with a woman in his hotel room and his wife Linda didn't know all the crazy stuffs he does while he was in Boston. "You know why I had no address for three months? I stole a suit in Kansas City and I was in jail"-Biff. In this line Biff reveals the truth about what happened to him he is telling the truth to his father Biff is being honest. "And I never got anywhere because you blew me full of hot air I could never stand taking orders from anybody" I think  Biff is very mad and irritated on how he's father gave him orders and not giving anything to Biff,Happy & to his wife. I think Willy Loman was successful because he choose to commit suicide because in my own opinion I think Willy believes that committing suicide is the answer to their problems because if he commits suicide he knows that he can receive a money from the life insurance company and I think the reason why he committed suicide is to help his family pay their debts and so that his son will have a better future because back then when he was still alive he wasn't able to fulfill his tasks as a father because he's poor & his money is not enough to support his family.
