This is a great summary! I would also add that Willy is disappointed that Biff never 'made it' and attributes this to Biff failing math in high school, but the reason that Biff never retook his math class is because he went to Willy to have him talk to the schoolboard about Biff's math class, and that is when Biff saw that his father was having an affair. This crushes Biff and he doesn't bother to aspire to be successful after this encounter.

so that explains the scene in the movie near the end when Willy was remembering what happened to him then Biff came to tell him about failing math class then suddenly saw the woman...i was confused for a second then realized that's the reason why Biff's life went upside down and Willy was the reason behind that all along!

I remember reading this senior year of high school. I just remember feeling sad. I don’t know why, but this story stuck with me. The fact that someone decided that his family was bette off with $20,000 than to be with him broke my heart. I was glad that I then watched Its A Wonderful Life, which obviously is different but finds both main characters facing the same decision that committing suicide would make their family better off due to their life insurance. Just wish that Willie had a guardian Angel too

I'm at an online exam right now because of covid-19 and watching this :D thanks

I really hated that book at the beginning because it was so hard to read for non native speakers even at my class' level but thanks to this video I've now realized how well-written it truly is. Thank you!

If you need someone else to explain to you why something is poorly written when you came away from it with that kind of attitude towards it, it’s not well written. A well written play speaks for its damn self.

agreed!

Excellent analysis. I would also add though that Biff was also a tragic figure since the idealisation of his father was dissmissed when he saw him with the other woman. That was the moment when his beliefs and expectations were ruined. The moment of realisation between real and unreal.

i’m not here for school or anything, i’m just here because i’m curious and want to learn so what i learned from this is basically they are better off without willy because they only got money when he died and that i myself need to stop being delusional just like the whole family is, holding onto the belief of the american dream, i know i need to seek reality i always tell myself that it’s a self quote but sometimes i just don’t want to

@poppyknight4258

I wouldn’t necessarily say they were better off, happy is left to fulfill willys position of having the broken ideal of an American dream, Biff will just have to forever manage with how Willy caused his lack of motivation- without any closure really and Linda is just a woman with no form of economic agency so in reality no matter what everyone suffers- that’s why its a tragedy unfortunately, but I see where you’re coming from

Willy lomans father

Speaking of a play, its characters and their figures are all kind of metaphors~ Come to think of why such a sad movie had been made my idea is that the author would like certain issues to be shown and therefore situations can be changed. Biff lost his confidence when he found out he was not as impressive as he thought he was and he jumped to the conclusion that he was not at business which showed his characters. In comparison to his father who tried so hard I can say how easily he gave himself up.

The wife

I have to say that was the worse review of this play. Willy represents a America typical human nature feeling, jealousy and bullshit. That jealousy of Charlie and Bernard along with being a complete bullshiter were the two take aways from this play. And the one totally unrealistic part was a successful Charlie living in the same rundown neighborhood, this would never happen. A successful person always moves up, if you made it in the Bronx, you moved to the Pelhams or Bronxville for the betterment of your family, but more so to get away from the unsuccessful people in a persons former neighborhood. Hence watching their jealousy each day. As living among other successful people allows more stability.

Hello Mr. Z here. The entire thing is dry.

I like this woman better than him. He talks too fast and is too expressive, it's annoying.

This is pretty low level analysis. Really basic, poor stuff. It's: 6:27 mins in, and you still haven't mentioned the central themes of death, or the American dream. Dreadful stuff.
