Death Of A Salesman
Throughout Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller many of the main characters play a role in defining each of their own ideal lifes. Personally my ideal life would consist of seeking happiness in everything and putting others before myself. Depending on the person, someones ideal life can vary. In Death of a Salesman, Willy's dream of an ideal life is similar and different in many ways compared to Biff and Happy's dream.
With that being said, Willy has an idea of what it takes to be successful. In his mind, he has it set that in order to go far in life you must be well-liked by roughly everyone. In Death of a Salesman Willy gives his two sons, Biff and Happy a speech about how to become notorious businessmen in today's world. He states “the
man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead” he then goes on to say “[b]e liked and you will never want.” (Miller 21) In which he means that if people know your name, and you enjoy what you are doing then there is nothing more a man can want
