The adultery shows a sign of emotional detachment because Willy is constantly lying to Biff. Biff says, "You fake! You phony little fake!" (Miller 121). Biff loses complete trust in Willy after he finds out about the affair. Willy also cheats on his wife, Linda, with an unnamed woman in Boston. However, because they are not in his life, it is up to Willy to learn on his own. Willy strives to be like his father and wants to emulate the success of Ben. He was an adventurous man.I thought I'd go out with my older brother and try to locate him." (Miller 81). During a discussion with Howard, his boss, Willy says, "Oh, yeah, my father lived many years in Alaska. Not only does Willy try to take away Biff's dream of becoming a football player, Willy is abandoned by his father and his older brother, Ben who becomes lucky in Africa at twenty-one. This quote is significant because Willy tries to persuade his sons into becoming like him by telling him about his life experiences. I can park my car in any street in New England, and the cops protect it like their own" (Miller 31). After Willy talks to his sons about his travels, he says, ".I'll show you all the towns.And they know me, boys, they know me up and down New England.I have friends.
He focuses more on Biff, the football player, because Willy believes that Biff has potential to become a salesman like him. Willy tries to teach his falsified ideology of the American dream to his sons, Biff and Happy. However, Willy does not realize that the value of hard work and devotion plays the most important role in achieving success. Willy Loman, a traveling salesman, believes that one must be well-liked in order to achieve the American dream. Willy's experience with achieving the American Dream is similar to Troy's will to survive because Troy tries to be on the same level as Whites by overcoming racial barriers. Both protagonists are blinded by their illusions of success, and both of their experiences are akin to one another. Willy Loman is part of a white family who is struggling to survive and Troy Maxson who has an African-American background is also having trouble supporting his family. Yet, the only distinction between Death of a Salesman and Fences is the issue of race. Two protagonists, Willy Loman from Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Troy Maxson from August Wilson's Fences strive to become successful through comparable motives and ideals. When one attains wealth, respect and happiness they are successful. The Attempt for Success in Fences and Death of a Salesman I need to write more analysis on my quotes, but I do not know what to say.
I would like to know if my thesis is fits my essay and I would like to know if all of my paragraphs flow with each other. I am trying to say that even though the families are of different racial backgrounds, they have the same common problems.
