Death of a Salesmen

After watching and reading the "Death of a salesmen" i felt bad for Willy's wife Linda Loman. Being that Willy had a mental issue I know that it was really hard for her to loose her husband the way she did. Threw out the story Willy tried to make everyone like him but when he was found cheating by his son Biff. After that incident the respect as a father that Biff had for him was gone. Biff and his brothers also had issues of there own but the constant attempts of there father trying to kill his self was a struggle. Willy had the ideal job of being a salesmen and traveling and selling goods but he thought he could do better. Willy knew of a salesmen named Dave Single men that had the special job that he wanted and was working in his elderly age of eighty-four. But when the salesmen died and many came to his funeral from different cities Willy came to believe that he wanted that life. Being that Willy wanted his sons to live the same life he did they had enough after they dad had pushed them to far. It was to much for them both and they didn't want to do the same as their father, but wanted something way different. 
When the Willy and his two sons had an big argument which was the turn for there relationship occurs later that night Willy gets an accident and dies. The very low amount of people that showed up for the funeral hurt Linda very much. It wasn't long until the house they lived in for years was finally going to be there own property that Willy decides to dream and get in an accident.
