What happened between biff and willy in new england
In the Arthur Miller play "Death of a Salesman," Biff comes to Boston to see his father and finds out that Willy has been cheating on his wife. This is a great shock to Biff, who did not know Willy had a mistress. As a result, Biff calls Willy a phony and a fake and loses respect for him.
Biff believes Willy is mocking him because Willy has a habit of making sarcastic comments and belittling others. Biff may also feel insecure about his own failures and interpret Willy's comments as a form of ridicule.
Biff is the son of Willy Loman, the salesman.
