Requiem

Consider the future for each member of the family after Willy's suicide. What is the meaning of Happy's comments at the funeral? How about Linda's final words, "We're free...We're free..."? What does Biff mean when he says, "I know who I am, kid"? Discuss the way in which each member of the family will proceed with his/her life.

What is a "personality" anyway?

Willy Loman seems preoccupied with being well liked. Why is this so important to him? He speaks of personality, but what is the difference between having a nice personality and being a good person? In addition, what value does he place on athleticism and physical build? How does this affect his family? Finally, how does his view of these qualities compare to ours today? Look at pages 33, 40, and 51 for a few examples.
