Willy carried a false sense of Biff's accomplishments and abilities which Biff covered nicely.Willy and Biff got along fairly well until Biff caught Willy in a hotel room with another woman. Biff was in his teens and was devastated to see that his father had given the woman the stockings that he had always brought for his mother. It was a turning point in their relationship.Biff feels like he can not live up to his father's expectations.

Willy, Biff's father, in the play Death of a Salesman, did not have the advantage to become a football player, but in his son's athletic abilities he sees a chance to be a part of that piece of the dream. He is unable to see the reality of his son's lack of effort in school and issues.Willy follows the son's actions and muddles over them making his son the super star he himself never was. However, Willy is so wrapped up in the dream of what he wants his son to be that he can not see who his son really is. Because Willy can not come to terms with his own role in life he lives through his son's actions.
