Biff: Willy’s older son, who works as a farm hand on a ranch.Happy is the most neglected member of his family as his parents’ attention has always been focused primarily on their older son Biff. He also harbors a desire to launch a family business under the name of the Loman Brothers. Happy lives his life seeking relationships with several women and trying to get his older brother Biff to do the same. He still looks up at his older brother Biff, who was hugely popular when he was in school.
He is successful in his career but finds himself frustrated at having to take orders from those he cannot respect, admire or aspire to be like. Happy: Willy’s younger son is thirty-two years old, tall and handsome.He is a symbol of corporate business principles that see only profits as a goal, with little or no regard for the people that make the company-everyone is replaceable. Howard: Wagner’s son now runs the company and has little appreciation for the loyalties of old employees or their contribution towards building the company.He was succeeded by his son Howard, who has very different principles from his father, in running a company. He seems to be a fair man who would have offered Willy a senior managerial position by now, taking him off the roads as a salesman. Wagner: He was the old boss of the company, greatly admired by Willy.She is the anchor of the family who withstands the tempers, tantrums and emotional chaos of all three men-her husband and two grown sons. She urges him to not be too accommodating towards his company. Linda Lowman: Willy’s wife is a timid home-maker who supports her husband in his aspirations but is also keenly aware of the exhaustion he is subjected to.He is the epitome of millions of white-collared workers who have outlived their corporate capacities and do not fit into the rapidly changing, technologically driven world that favors youthfulness over experience and loyalty.
#WHO IS CHARLEY IN DEATH OF A SALESMAN PROFESSIONAL#
To cope with his situation and years of back-breaking travelling and work (with little or no increase in his personal wealth or professional status), Willy creates a fantasy world which is still not enough to keep him safe from multiple failed attempts at suicide.Although his business acumen is peaking on account of his decades of experience, Willy is ageing and has few friends left in his trade. He is a travelling salesman who endures a pay cut and is also fired from a company he has devoted his entire life to.
