Tomas Sanchez Death of a Salesman Comparison As I was reading Death of a Salesman I noticed that the author,Arthur Miller , uses different characters to address issues regarding American national values. In this essay I have decided to compare and Contrast the Loman brothers, Biff and Happy . Biff Loman is one of the main characters in Death of a Salesman. He is the son of Willy and Linda, brother to Happy, Best friend of Bernard, and also the central character who plays a pivotal role by having an affect on every main character in the story.Biff can be summed up as a confident athletic high schooler with a bright future who looks up to his father and listens to every word that his father says . However, when we flash forward 16 years into the future, to where we first see Biff, we find out that he is no longer a confident, successful man. Biff Loman,along with his father,is the representation of the“ American dream”failure.
