Best Answer

Willy does not wish to give up on his hopes for a future and some kind of memory of himself or his existence after death. This is why he plants the seeds. He hopes that his funeral will be well attended, and that this will impress Biff. Biff sees that there are much more important qualities than popularity, which is why he will see this final act as foolish.

What is the Relevance of the title death of a salesman?

the title "death of a salesman" on a basic level means that a salesman will die, and this would most probably be willy. this also shows who willy was, the man willy looked up to most was Dave Singleman, a very successful salesman. when willy describes his death he said Dave Singleman "died the death of a salesman" the word "the" shows this was definite, or the right way to die. the title of the play however shows that willy was a nobody, death of a salesman, not even death of the salesman. this title is just a reference to a hard working salesman that never quite made it. this is also possibly a reference to the American dream "if you work hard you will be rewarded" where an ironic twist of fate means a hardworking man is never recognised.
