Willy always wants advice and Ben gives it. He is still lying to himself about Biff’s potential for greatness. Willy also associates Ben with knowledge and self-awareness, qualities that he himself is severely lacking. 133 - What is significant about Willy’s line “That boy is going to be magnificent.”? ( This shows he has not listened or understood everything Biff was just saying about telling the truth. 132 - Which sentence highlights Willy’s refusal to accept his averageness? 131 - What does Biff mean by, “I never got anywhere because you blew me so full of hot air I could never stand taking orders from anybody! That’s whose fault it is!”? 129 - What does Willy mean by, “ I want you to know… that you cut down your life for spite”? Requiem a Mass for one or more deceased persons any musical service, hymn, or dirge for the dead.P. Thus Willy's refusal to accept life on its own terms results in nothing but disorder and fragmentation for those he loves most. In reality, he denies Linda a debt-free husband, Biff a reconciled father, and Happy an improved role model.
Willy believes his suicide will resolve the disorder in his life by assuaging any pain he caused Linda, winning Biff's respect, and demonstrating his popularity as a salesman and individual. With Charley's assistance, Willy's suicide cannot be justified because it defies his own intentions. Just as he bailed Willy out when he needed money, so Charley bails him out when no one else understands his suicide. Charley is Willy's only true friend in the play, and he recognizes Willy's need for acknowledgment and appreciation. It is significant that Charley defends Willy's suicide since Willy always felt jealous and threatened by Charley. Rather than illustrate the fact that he was "well-liked," his unimpressive funeral demonstrates his mediocrity. Willy has contradicted his own intentions. The nervous anxiety that Linda feels when calling out for Willy in Act I, Scene 1 parallels the disquieting grief demonstrated at the end when she calls out to him again. It is important to note that Miller begins and ends the play with Linda. According to Linda, they are finally debt-free. She does not understand why he killed himself because of money. Linda tells Willy that she keeps waiting for him to come home.
Happy is determined to fulfill Willy's dreams, but Biff plans to leave Brooklyn.
Happy is angry that Willy committed suicide, while Biff says that Willy "didn't know who he was." Charley tells them that a salesman's life depends upon dreams. Linda does not understand why none of the people Willy knew bothered to come to the funeral. The requiem takes place at Willy's grave.
