Moral Issues In Death Of A Salesman

In the book Death of a Salesman by Arthur miller, there are lot morals and the play switches over from time to time because a lot the Loman’s are focusing too much on a lot of such different things and as the play goes on you start to see why Linda becomes a problem to the whole family. This book shows you how different one family can be and how much they have to work together to become the absolute best they can be. Linda does nothing wrong but to her husband Willy she does not do a thing right and you will soon find out why. Linda is a woman in an awkward situation, she is a character driven by desperation and fear. She knows all the problems that are occurring in the house but I feel bad for her because every time she tries to speak she

(Page 137) throughout the play we see Linda constantly follows what her husband says and believes anything that he says no matter how ridiculous what he says could be, Linda knows that she has to believe it or she will get yelled at and maybe even hit. Even when the reality of this whole story is so ridiculous this is what happened I don’t think any man should treat a woman and never mind a women your own wife like this. In the Lomans household there are many problems that occur Willy starts to face the facts that his family knows about what’s going and he refuses to be an honest man. This is right about the time that biff walks in and he hides his mistress in the bathroom Willy was more concerned with keeping her hidden in there than actually caring and listening to what biff is saying about how he flunked math and can only graduate if he goes to summer school and that’s all his day wants from him, but he saw the mistress come out of the bathroom “he goes dad who is she” and of course he lies saying she someone who she isn’t tells her she from next door and her bathroom is broken. After biffs sees this he does not care for his dad at all anymore and he wants nothing to do with him because he lies and lies to biff and the rest of the family. Then the family goes out to eat and Linda knows nothing at this point like she always does and acts like nothing is going wrong to impress her husband in front of his work colleges and biff gets up and leaves in

It taught me a lot like how a family should be and how a family should not be. The play makes you think wow this can really relate to me as a high school student and athlete. Linda needs to learn to speak her mind no matter what her husband says because people have rights and she should be able to talk about what she thinks is going on with her family. “When Linda converses with her husband it’s almost as if se walking on eggshells and almost that she is taking to a frail eggshell that is her husband’s mental state.” (Source 2). Nothing Linda says to try to help her husband will work because she is someone who gets under her skin and makes it a lot worse to willy but too anyone else she is doing anything in her power to help him much like and other wife would do for their husband. A couple weeks after willy dies after all that the family has been through with him it’s a very sad dad but the family is very mad at him still so it is a very hard position to be in and I know I would never want to be to in the position that this family is in. willy was a very mean and angry person to his family and had a lot of stress going on in his life this is why we need to realize that all he wanted was to make his family happy but it was just something he could not do so he gave up and just took all of his anger out on
