"I'm the New England man. I'm vital in New England." - Reflects Willy's desperate need to feel successful and important. Despite that it is the opposite, he insists on how significant he is in his work territory - New England. In my personal opinion, Willy is a small man that tries his best to catch up with the others at the top. Even though his confidence is low, he tries to fake it.

young man with such — personal attractiveness, gets lost. And

such a hard worker. There’s one thing about Biff — he’s not

lazy."

"I was driving along, you understand? And I

was fine. I was even observing the scenery. You can imagine,

me looking at scenery, on the road every week of my life. But

it’s so beautiful up there, Linda, the trees are so thick, and the

sun is warm. I opened the windshield and just let the warm air

bathe over me. And then all of a sudden I’m goin’ off the road!

I’m tellin’ya, I absolutely forgot I was driving. If I’d’ve gone

the other way over the white line I might’ve killed somebody.

So I went on again — and five minutes later I’m dreamin’

again, and I nearly... (He presses two fingers against his eyes.) I

have such thoughts, I have such strange thoughts."

He knows that he's lost in his strange thoughts, he can't do anything to change that. If he continues with it, he might hurt someone, or even himself, accidentally.

"Figure it out. Work a lifetime to pay off a house. You

finally own it, and there’s nobody to live in it."

- I think Willy is so focused on the idea that "money is success". He is expecting his sons to follow this model and be as successful as he is. He is considering the career of a person to be the most important aspect of life.

"When the hell did I loose my temper? I simply asked his if he was making any money. Is that critisism?"

Willy is so obssessed with becoming successful and so fixed in his insecurities that he won't make it, that his attention is driven to his surroundings' career choiced, especially if he considers them as bad ones. That makes him greedy, judgemental, and generaly unpleasant to be around.

When the hell did I lose my temper? I simply asked him if

he was making any money. Is that a criticism?

I find him to be very ambition as he wants to succeed. However, he becomes so obssesed and may do something irrational and brutal. There is an inter conflict in him.

"Attention, attention must be finally paid to such a person."

This line is spoken by Linda, Willy Loman's wife, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and recognizing Willy's struggles and efforts. It sets the tone for the play, highlighting the themes of the value of a person's life, and the complexities of familly relationships. Personally, I think that Willy's wife is a little annoying because she is so obidient and doesn't give him the constructive criticism he needs.

Guided by his own failure, he puts too much pressure on his kids, describing them as failing young men.

"WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farm-hand? In the beginning, when he was young, I thought, well, a young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week!" <- Willy's main priority in life is money and how much you earn. He thinks working in a farm, even if it makes you happy is not a good job.

"Most often jovial, she has developed an iron repression of her exceptions to Willy’s behavior — she more than loves him, she admires him, as though his mercurial nature, his temper, his massive dreams and little cruelties, served her only as sharp reminders of the turbulent longings within him, longings which she shares but lacks the temperament to utter and follow to their end."
