Death Of A Salesman Who Is Willy To Blame
Willy was to blame but not completely on his own. He needed help. He just did not realize this nor could he with his mental status. His family is to blame for not getting him the help he needed. I think his neighbor tried to help him more than anyone else. He tried to give Willy jobs, he did give him money, and he tried to talk to Willy about these things. Willy, however, would not let him as he thought he was always putting him down. Willy could not recognize help when he saw it because in his mind everyone was against him. With this said, his inner circle was helpful in his demise, but not on purpose. They obviously did not know what to do either, except Biff in the end, which was just a little too late. Biff started to try to bring his father to his senses, with no luck. Willy needed professional help and saw Biffs trying, as his being spiteful. Biff made it very clear when he had enough and was telling his father exactly what he had done to them both when he stated “There’ll be

no pity for you, you hear it? No pity!” (Miller, 1949). Willy to Linda in return stated many things in front of Biff including “You hear the Spite!” (Miller, 1949). Willy blamed Biff for his shortcomings, when in fact, Willy was part of the reason Biff never thought more of himself as well.
Besides Willy’s inner circle the world outside did not help much either.
Society and cultural of the world is much focused on success and wealth (“Arthur Miller’s Death Of A Salesman As Social Commentary”, n.d.). The world we live in has many greedy people in it. Those thinking that they are failures, if are not rich. These people are everywhere and will do whatever it takes even hurting others in the meantime to get what they want. For instance, Willy’s boss, the original bosses’ son. He dismissed him and pushed him further into his own mind, as he took over. This just added to the mental instability of Willy. Willy thought he was grand at his job and needed his huge ego feed by others that he was; yet, this was not the fact anymore. He was older and in fact, not well liked. He had needed to boast over the years too much, loved himself more than others to much, and in the end made more people hated him than loved him. I know people like this and in time they are just too much to
take.
