monday's post

so i left off with willy and howard,and willy was begging for his job.howard finally let willy go,which i kinda agree with.willy needs that break,but it just sucks that he can't pay for everything.

then willy goes back into his head and he talks with ben.this part is like what he wished happened,he's looking back on an opportunity that ben had for him,and he's thinking how he might have been better off with working with ben.which he might have,but he let his wife talk him out of it.i think willy is now regretting a lot of his life because he thinks it would have changed his current state.

i think ben is the man willy has always wanted to be.and now willy is talking to ben in his head when he really feels down.ben is like his constant comparison to himself.

plus i think willy compares himself to biff too.how he kinda failed biff,because he pressured him into playing this really big football game basically for his future.and we learn later on why biff and willy have so many problems.something happened when biff failed math that caused willy to do or say something that caused biff to not go to summer school.i really want to know what exactly happened.

then willy goes back to the present and goes to charley's house to get money,and he talks to bernard.who again i think he compares himself and his sons especially to.bernard was always smart and worked to get very successful.willy thinks that biff could have been as successful as bernard.especially because they were so close.

 

charley is what willy wanted to be with his normal job,just this easy life,after he works hard for a long time he can retire and just live an easier life.rather than have financial problems and have to ask for money weekly.but to have the freedom to have money to give out.

 

then the family has their dinner.happy i think is the one loman boy that can support himself and possibly his family if he had to.or the family history could repeat its self.happy going to support his own family and work to support his parents,working himself to the bone like willy does.while biff ends up traveling and enjoying life like ben does.
