Willy: '"Bernard can get the best marks in school, y'understand, but when he gets out in the business world you are going to five times ahead of him."

Biff: "Because I know he's a fake and he doesn't like anybody around who knows!"

BLANCHE: "One cup is my limit!"
Later in the play: "Two is my limit - no, three!"

BLANCHE: "Turn that over-light off! Turn that off! I won’t be looked at in this merciless glare!”

BLANCHE: "Never inside...I never lied in my heart..."

Explanation: all these quotes indicate Blanche's internal proclivity towards presenting herself as a demure Southern Belle. Her apparent failure to do so is an external manifestation of this conflict, which only becomes progressively worse throughout the play.

DOAS
“WILLY: Between [Charlie] and his son Bernard, they can’t hammer a nail.” 

“WILLY: A man who can't handle tools is not a man. You're disgusting." 

"BIFF: To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year 
(…) And still—that’s how you build a future "

Explanation: the first two quotes suggest Willy's internal jealousy for his successful neighbours, this internal conflict manifesting as attacks on the only flaw he sees in them - their lack of physical strength. Ironically though, none of Charlie, Bernard, and Willy's jobs require practical work. Biff's internal conflict is different, focused on his desire to work on the field vs his responsibility towards his father - this manifests as regretful acceptance.

BLANCHE:  He returned with a box of roses to beg for forgiveness! He implored my forgiveness.

BLANCHE: Sometimes - there's God - so quickly!

BLANCHE: after all, a woman's charm is 50% illusion

Explanation: all these quotes show how out of touch with reality she is. The desperation and longing in the tone of dialogue for something more.

Death Of A Salesman

WILLY:  Because he thinks I’m nothing, see, and so he spites me. But the funeral – [Straightening up] Ben, that funeral will be massive!

WILLY: Oh, Biff! (staring wildly) He cried! Cried to me. (he is choking with his love, and now cries out his promise) That boy - that boy is going to be magnificent

Please tell about Dad. I want my boys to hear. I want them to know the kind of stock they spring from. All I remember is a man with a big beard, and I was in Mamma’s lap, sitting around a fire, and some kind of high music."

"WILLY [longingly]: Can’t you stay a few days? You’re just what I need, Ben, because I—I have a fine position here, but I—well, Dad left when I was such a baby and I never had a chance to talk to him and I still feel—kind of temporary about myself." 

"WILLY: No, Ben! Please tell about Dad. I want my boys to hear. I want them to know the kind of stock they spring from. All I remember is a man with a big beard, and I was in Mamma’s lap, sitting around a fire, and some kind of high music."

“BLANCHE: In the bathroom the water goes on loud; little breathless cries and peals of laughter are heard as if a child were frolicking in the tub."

 "In this part of New Orleans you are practically always just around the corner, or a few doors down the street, from a tinny piano being played with the infatuated fluency of brown fingers. This "Blue Piano" expresses the spirit of the life which goes on here."

"The "Varaouviana"! The polka tune they were playing when Allan--Wait!"

 "Polka music sounds. In a minor key faint with distance. 

We danced the Varsouviana! Suddenly in the middle of the dance the boy I had married broke away from me and ran out of the casino. A few moments later--a shot! 

[The polka stops abruptly.]

 [Blanche rises stiffly. Then, the polka resumes in a major key.]" 
 
"A locomotive is heard approaching outside. She claps her hands to her ears and crouches over. The headlight of the locomotive glares into the room as it thunders past. As the noise recedes she straightens slowly and continues speaking."
