thursday’s post

well its now at the end of the play.so here’s the last bit.

willy and biff have come to a minor understanding.biff is going to leave and willy is going to go on with living with linda and work out his problems.biff i think, is trying to help his parents or at least his dad,so he can stop worrying about biff’s life.

then they both have a father-son bonding moment!willy realizes that biff doesn’t hate him for cheating and biff finally told his dad that he can’t be the business man that willy wants him to be.but that he’s just trying to live his life as happy as he can.willy’s realization causes him to re consider living.

but then ben comes back.ben is trying to tell willy to hurry up and that they have to go,so willy WAS trying to die,but now that he and biff are ok,he wants to stay and he kind of blows ben off.and linda is trying to get him to sleep and it will be all over.

but willy doesn’t go.willy goes out for a walk and gets confused and wanders out in to the street (i think)(this is what i’m gathering happens artistically based on what the stage directions say)where he gets hit by a car and dies.which is so sad because he and biff were finally ok!

and finally the last scene,the funeral.

willy-dead.

linda-is now empty and she’s really messed up i think because a)she never knew about the cheating and b) everything willy was worried over is finally ok.

biff-i thnk is just content about life after he and his father cleared everything up.and is now just morning and living.

happy-is going to end up just like his father as i predicted.biff will be ben and happy will be willy.there is no way around it,history will repeat it’s self.
