Two major characters in The Awakening and Death of a Salesman are Robert Lebrun and Biff Loman. We see each character go through conflict both internal and external, and I believe that both characters handled their conflict similarly.

In “Death of a Salesman”, there seems to be a crisis amongst Biff and Happy, the sons of the main character, Willy. Both of these men appear to be facing inner crises in which they each seem to be trying to figure out who they are and if they really matter in life.

The difference in the two men is that when they finally come to a point of realization there seems to be a glimmer

Willy allowed Biff to get away with anything and tried to live through him, which caused Biff to turn into a criminal. Biff started off small by stealing Bill Oliver’s fountain pen for no clear reason. That eventually lead to harder crime, such as getting arrested for stealing a suit in Kansas City, but

At an ironic turn of events George was now the boss of Biff and had him washing and waxing his cars.

Biff was now the weak and fragile coward who had things to lose if he disrespected George

The American Dream, the American Dream is something Biff never accomplished he attempted to accomplish but when things got difficult he gave up. In the beginning, Biff was Willy’s “star child” they had an exceptional relationship until Biff found out about his father's affair with another woman.
