What is Linda trying to say about Willy in this speech?

Then make Charley your father, Biff. You can't do that, can you? I don't say he's a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must be finally paid to such a person. You called him crazy ---

Biff wants to get into the business world now

As linda feels that biff is hiding something from her, she keeps on asking him and he just tells her that he'll stay with them and get a job. As there is a long talk on this and biff shares his feeling about willy and then he also tells them that he's going to meet Oliver to get a job. Happy also gives biff an idea of working together and Willy is very happy as Biff's confidence is back and he's getting serious.

pg 44

Willy wasnt a great or famous man. He wasnt perfect either but he was a man who dedicated his like for his sons who never look back on him. His situation made him change.

WILLY TRYING TO SUICIDE

Willy also tries to kill himself by crashing the car. Linda once says to Willy "you didn't smash the car did you?" which tells us that this is not the first time he is doing this, and the second evidence is when the insurance inspector came and said that all these accidents in the last year weren't actually accidents. he tried to smash the car purposely and the evidence is a woman, who saw his car and said that he wasn't driving fast at all, and that he didn't skid. she says that he came to a little bridge , and deliberately smashed the car into the railing, and it was only the shallowness of the water which saved him, or else he would have killed himself.











thank you mam for teaching me something new!

Biff's Relation With Linda

Biff addresses Linda as a pal. They are very close to each other and so forth he is protective towards his mother. Biff agrees being a remiss after Linda says that Willy's life is in his hands.
