What does one do when it seems that all the hard work they’ve invested into life fails to reap any benefits? When it comes to Willy Loman, it seems that the world has got something against him and his happiness. In the play, Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller, Willy is both a victim of society and a victim of his own mind. No matter what he does to prevent it, his life is doomed to failure. Willy Loman isn’t the best father or husband, but he does live up to the traditional ethics of a man in America. He’s maintained his marriage, he owns a home, he’s hard-working, and he has two beautiful sons that look up to him. However, it seems that all of these aspects of his life have been tainted in some way or another. He’s cheated on his wife on a number of occasions, he dies before his home is fully paid off, his hard work has left him poor, and his sons are unethical. One is a “philandering bum” and the other is a 34 year old man trying to find himself. Everything that Willy has invested into his life has come up short of granting him happiness.
