In Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," Biff Loman feels like a failure due to his inability to live up to the lofty expectations set by his father, Willy. After a series of disillusioning experiences, including a failed attempt at achieving success in business and the revelation of his father's infidelity, Biff struggles with his identity and purpose. He grapples with the pressure to conform to societal standards of success, ultimately realizing that he has not found his own path. This internal conflict leads to feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness.
