Biff Loman

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" is a tale about the failure of the American Dream. The paper explains that except for Willy himself, that sentiment is hardly better explained than in the character of his son, Biff Loman. This paper is used to examine Biff's character, from his inception, through his transformation and into whatever future that might wait for him.

From the Paper:

"The Beginning of Biff: The first image of Biff that the reader gets of Biff is that of him shaving with his brother in the bathroom, one behind the other. The image is a homey one, a happy one and the "boys" appear to be close. The image, of course, is an illusion and is quickly revealed to be so. The first hint that there is a disparity in Biff's character comes with Willy's depiction of him."
