Text-based Answer on Howard.

Arthur Miller was born in New York in 1915. His one of the plays is Death of a salesman which was written and performed in 1949. This play was written after the Great Depression, which was the economic recession in the USA. This let down the American Dream in people.

This character, Howard Wagner, is Willy Loman's 36 year-old boss. He symbolizes the whole unemotional business world by emphasizing on his high status. Howard has got this new wire-recorder which is obsessively fascinating him. Willy tries to speak something but is constantly interrupted by Howard speaking about the features of the recorder. After listening to the points, Willy finally comes to a conclusion of earning 65 dollars a week. He keeps on reducing the amount until he reaches 40 dollars but still Howard wants him to take a good long rest and then come back so that something could be worked out. Miller emphasizes more on Howard's high status. Howard, in the beginning says "Sorry to keep you waiting". This statement by Howard Wagner proves that he is trying to show his high prestige in the business world. He shows a clear representation of the business world. One more thing that Miller has shown is that Howard addresses Willy as a kid even though he is much younger than him in age but he shows off his high prestige and is happy with his space. This space is not the mental space but actually physical space.
