Biff takes Bill Oliver's fountain pen after Bill refuses to see him. Biff's sense of pride gets the better of him and he gives into the urge to take something

Charley: You want a job?
Willy: I got a job, I told you that. What the hell are you offering me a job for?
Charlie: Don’t get insulted.
Wily: Don’t insult me.

Willy is constantly insulting and offending Charley, even though Charley is his only source of income. Because of Willy's pride he refuses to take a job from Charley, but continues to look down on him

Miller attempts to show us that your pride can blind you from reality, and if you are swallowed up in pride you are not able to even help yourself. Being umble is more important than being prideful, the characters with humility are respected adn the ones with pride are not.

Humility

Linda is very humble and never asks Willy for anything. She mends her own stockings and this upsets Willy because he is too prideful to have Linda us worn stockings

Bernard is very succesful near the end of the play, but he is not prideful he is very humble. Miller is trying to tell us that humility can lead to sucess rather than pride.
