Charley warns Willy about letting his sons steal lumber.
In Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," Charley serves as a foil to Willy Loman, the main character. He represents the pragmatic and successful approach to life, contrasting with Willy's unrealistic dreams and failures. Charley is also a friend and neighbor to Willy, offering him financial support and friendship, which highlights Willy's pride and refusal to accept help. Ultimately, Charley embodies the theme of reality versus illusion in the play.
In Death of a Salesman, Willy loses his job during his meeting with Howard.
In "Death of a Salesman," Charley believes that a successful salesman needs practicality, hard work, and a solid understanding of the market, valuing tangible skills and resilience. In contrast, Willy Loman clings to the idea that charisma and being well-liked are the keys to success, prioritizing personal charm over substantive abilities. This fundamental difference highlights Willy's unrealistic dreams and his eventual tragic downfall, while Charley represents a more pragmatic approach to success.
When Willy sees Bernard in Charley's office, he is surprised and impressed by Bernard's success as a lawyer. Willy recalls Bernard as being a studious and somewhat nerdy boy who used to fail in his schoolwork, so seeing him as a successful professional amazes and confuses Willy.
