“He had the wrong dreams. All, all wrong” – Creative Writing

In this es assert I will train the above statement and go through all the points of question relate to it. I will and then make an informed decision in the conclusion, as to whether or non I regard the statement as correct. To begin with it is important that we consider the affinity between paper bag and his be relieve oneselfter, Willy. twain Willys hallucinationing and his cruelty suggest that Willy lives in a world of his own. He appears to have surreal dreams of his own and his familys importance and in laggers case he is puzzled as to wherefore Biff is naturaliseing on a farm and this leads to a great deal of conflict.Willys views are liable to fast compound. One minute he says that Biff is a lazy bum and then he says that he is not lazy. It is clear that Biff is sensitive and care and make outs his family deeply, but at the end all he can do is to be cruel and force everyone to face the truth. This is why he reveals that he has been to prison for theft. Biff g oes on to try and make Willy face universe in his terms. At one point he states quite clear that it was his father who blew me so full of hot air I could neer stand taking orders from anybody .It is the devastating statement that Biff and Willy are some(prenominal) a dime a dozen or very ordinary, that shatters Willys dreams. In having an mapping Willy betrays Biffs ideal image of his father to the extent that Biff labels him a fake and makes him dissolve not to re sit his exams in the summer in an exertion to spite his father for what he has done. Biff pictures sensitivity towards his mother by not revealing the details of the affair to her, despite him having known it since he was seventeen.Willys reason for the affair that he is lonely and has no-one to talk to- is shown to be untrue, yet at that place is truth in the fact that he cannot communicate with his own family. Willys love for his sons is heartfelt, but his dreams for Biff seem to have little relation to his sons unavoidably and desires. His neglect springs directly from his dreams. As a salesman Willy lives by his ability to choose in people and make them moot in him, and this carries all over into Willys offstage emotional state. He even tells lies to his wife about the sales he has make to appear to be earning a great deal of money.Biffs claim his father never knew who he was and that he himself does suggests that he will move extraneous from his fathers model for success. Willy was inconsistent with his parenting. For a start he favoured Biff over dexterous. Willy also tries to live through his sons by encouraging them to try and commence the perfect salesman that he has al meanss tried to be. As a precede of Willys dream Biff has lost confidence, according to happy, and Willy is partly responsible for criticize his farm course However this could also be down to the fact that Biff doesnt know what Im supposed to want.This could be one reason why Willy favours Biff over H appy because Happy oozes in confidence whereas Biff does not. Another reason why he favours Biff is because Biff is the simply person who really knows about his fathers affair, so Willy is trying to cargo deck Biff happy. Willys favouring of Biff over Happy, makes Happy constantly try to be wish surface his father in order to please him. However, Willy seems concerned at the fashion Happy treats women, so he advises him the world is like and oyster, but you dont hold it open on a mattressThe phrase means that you have to work to succeed, but also implies that going to bed with people is not a means to economic and social success. Happy insists that he is going to show that and that he is going to win it for Willy. Yet as Willy has lied to Happy about what he has been earning, Happy in unaware that competitiveness is eventually fruitless, though it sustains the capitalist system. Willys late brother Ben is seen by Willy as the embodiment of the American Dream. He started out with nothing and became rich through rhombus mines.From the way in which Willy speaks about Ben it is clear that he is in bewilderment of him, saying That man was a genius, that man was success incarnate Willy regrets not going to Alaska with Ben commenting, What a mistake He begged me to go. A note of despondency enters when Willy says The woods are burning. This poetic metaphor recalls both the elm trees which Willy love and the jungle where Ben made his fortune. The implication seems to be that the very land of probability itself is going up in smoke.However there is an ambiguity as to whether or not Ben is directly responsible for this. If he is then it would seem that Willys admiration for his late brother would be somewhat misplaced. Bernard has accepted the realities of tame, career and he tries to encourage Biff to start studyin maths. Indeed it is apparent that Biff would have joined Bernard if Willy had not told Biff that Bernard is not well liked so therefore will not succeed in the duty world. However Willy is proved wrong as Bernard becomes a successful lawyer with impressive credentials.He is to be applauded for his down to earth approach to life because he has disregarded what Willy has said about him and done things his own way and been rewarded with success. Bernard and Biffs relationship parallels Charley and Willys. If Bernard is the character who tries to make Biff face the reality of school life, then Charley is the one who tries to make Willy face the reality of working life. Charley is Willys whole friend and he indulges him. He offers him a job, only to have it impel back into his face by an angry Willy.Charley can see that Willy could change his life if he wanted to I dont see no sentiency in it. You dont have to go on this way. In reality the relationship between Charley and Willy is not that close. Charley sees Willys one major floor is that he is perpetually boasting about what might have happened and dislikes the fact that he constantly has to mention the things that he will not eventually accomplish. Linda and Willy have a strong marriage. Linda is a staunch defender of everything that Willy stands for yet she is also shrewdly aware of his natureI know hes not easy to get along with nobody knows him better than me- Willy regularly confides his fears and weaknesses in Linda, such as when he tells Linda that he can see that other men who say fewer words -like charley- are better salesmen. Lindas reassurance shows how fragile Willys self-respect is. He appears to depend on her support to survive and when she says that he is idolized by his sons we as the audience know that this is not true, yet without this reassuring statement, Willy might not be able to face the next day. Biffs dream is to continue to work on the farm away from the competitive Capitalist smart set in the city.Willys dream on the other hand is to fulfil the American dream of going from rags to riches. I believe that in the end Willy decided to impart suicide because he decided that it was time for him to quit as he had failed in his attempt to fulfil the American dream. I believe that he may have decided to take, and act upon, the advice given to him by Bernard primarily in the play. Here Bernard is philosophical about success and advises Willy that giving up may sometimes be the outperform option. If you cant walk away he remarks, thats when its tough.Willy may have decided that in his current predicament the best option would be to take the advice of walking away, and Willy may have interpreted this to mean committing suicide. Based on the analysis above I believe that it would be fair to say that Willys dreams, were not necessarily wrong, but unrealistic and almost impossible for him to achieve because the Loman family were naturally suited to life in the countryside. So, Biffs opinion of his father is somewhat indecisive. I believe that over ambition and expectation proved to be Willys downfall.Unf ortunately Willy ended life accept that he had failed, when really he had not. He had just made the eventually mortgage payments on the house, and both of his sons were content in life. Willy attempted to keep to a set of moral and respectable principles in business, something which ultimately speak to him dear. He did not believe in exploitation, rather he believed in common courtesy and decency. Had he not held close these principles then he would most likely have come closer to fulfilling the American dream. So in all it would seem that Willy was a tragic victim of society who was destroyed by the evils of capitalist society.
