Wanting desperately to be successful and well liked, Willy had fallen victim to the false values of society and cannot cope with his failure or that of Biff, once a high-school football hero, now moody and jobless. Willy Loman, a bewildered, well-intentioned, unsuccessful traveling salesman aged 63, is pleased by the return home for a visit of his sons Biff and Happy, but they are upset by his peculiar behavior and hallucinatory conversations with figures of a happier past, and they worry about the effect on Linda, their compassionate mother, who loves her husband and recognizes that his actions stem from the disparity of his “massive dreams” and a disappointing reality. Play by Arthur Miller, produced and published in 1949, won a Pulitzer Prize.
