In the play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman is an individual who possessed an image of his prominence and who desired to fulfill much more prosperity than he was. Willy’s adversities could be blamed on society, but he brought an equal amount upon himself with his bad decision making, weakness, and his egotism. His bad decision making is evident when he commits adultery with the woman (p. 979). Willy had a stern belief of the American Dream that any person could soar upward from nothing to great

initiative his unjust acts held. Willy even defended Biff for stealing a football just because of the fact that Biff was the star football player, and was well liked in his school. “Loaded with it. Loaded! What is he stealing? He’s giving it back, isn’t he? Why is he stealing? What did I tell him? I never in my life told him anything but decent things” - (Act 1, Page 41). As well as supporting Biff for his crimes, Willy never pushed Biff to do well in school. “Willy: That’s just what I mean, Bernard

Throughout the play, Willy is evidently suffering from some sort of mental or emotional issues.

Ben Loman is Willy Loman's wealthy older brother, in the play, Death of a Salesman. The few times Ben appears in the story is in Willy’s imagination due to the fact that he is dead. Ben is a role model to Willy for many reasons. Ben appears exclusively as a false image and is not real like the remaining of the characters.
