on a basic level, the stocking represent willy's guilt, he has little money but when he has a time slip with the woman (his affair) it is shown that willy gives away stockings to her. then in earlier scenes when linda is fixing her own stockings, willy feels the guilt and asks her to stop as he can give away stocking to a mistress but cannot afford stockings for his faithful wife

Charlie

'Born a looser', I don't know, but yes there are some inherent flaws in his personality that make his tragedy inevitable. Now it is not 'he' that stands in the way of his success. It is his inability to see and accept the truth. He never really realised where his own potential lay. He measured success in terms of a person's ability to make his way in the cutthroat competition of the corporate world.

In Death of a Salesman, Willy loses his job during his meeting with Howard.

It was once fertile and wide open, but is now full of buildings and is in Willy's mind ruined

im just gunna answer this because i typed in the same question and yes they are very similar actually i can almost follow along with the book word for word.

cheeers now you don't have to read it lol

enjoy bud

I wouldn't say Howard was unsympathetic to Willy. He felt Willy was a good salesman in his time; however, Willy's desperation and decline in standard of work led to Howard thinking of Willy as a liability, and so he found himself having to fire him.

There was an incident that seems as if Howard were showing off his family and purchases in an almost friendly way to Willy; however, this could also be interpreted as Howard flaunting his wealth.

She is protective of him, and almost treats him as a child, guiding him to eat cheese and comforting him in his delusion.

biff is well liked and handsome

Yes the story death of a salesman is a tragedy because it shows the sequence as being tragic and horrific because he kills himself in a car wreck. im afraid i cannot possibly agree...death of a salesman doesnt contain any of the features of a true tragedy defined by Aristotle. By that definition, many of Shakespeare's tragedies cannot be considered tragedy as they do not conform to Aristotle's definition of tragedy. Hamlet, considered his finest, breaks many of Aristotle's rules of tragedy. Surely we move on from purist classical definitions to embrace new modes of thinking. Miller's exploration of the plight of a common man is a Romantic concept in considering the common man worthy of study. Is not the common man as capable of tragedy as kings and queens?

Ben has gone and done something with his life and has made alot of money. Willy doesn't understand how he did this without being well liked and popular, so he envies that

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.

In 'The Death of a Salesman,' Biff and Happy are talking about women and their dissatisfaction with their lives. Biff hates working for someone else, and Happy is stuck in his position until the person above him either dies or retires. Both dream about buying a ranch and working together.
