*howard is repeatedly changing the topic
*howards ignoring willy
*howards showing off
*he reffering to willuy as a "kid". i think hes trying to show whos the boss
Willy's long speech on Page 63: he talks about what inspired him to become a salesman - a man called Dave Singleman. He appears to be bemoaning the fact that in "those" days it wasn't just about sales, there was "respect, comradeship and gratitude in it". Now, it appears to be only about the money.
Do you see any evidence that Willy was "well-liked"?
He probably WANTS to think and believe that.
Possibly he has a self-esteem problem. He has a lot of negative energy.
Through the pages 59 to 64 he reduces how much he wants Howard to give him as a salary every week. He starts with 65 dollars and goes down to 40.
On page 64 we see Willy growing more and more desperate. We see that Howard is really not interested in any references to the past.
In 1928 Willy may have made a lot of sales - it was when the American economy was booming; it was before the Great Depression.
Howard realizes that Willy is going crazy and exits.
At the end of page 64 Willy begins to hallucinate - he thinks he is talking to Frank, Howard's father, and accidentally switches on the recording machine.
