Video analysis- Biff confronts Willy

  Willy is still unable to see how much his family loves him and especially his own son Biff. But in this video clip, Biff forcefully tries to make Willy see who he really is. Biff tries to make it clear to him that he does not blame him for his failures and that he does not resent him for having the affair. Biff comes to terms with the choices he has made and the lack of success in his life.  


  Additionally, Willy confronted with the failures resorts to a child-like attitude when Biff is finally satisfied that life is not about rejecting society's values but about hard work. With Biff's revelation, seems to break the cycle that has haunted the 'Lo-man' men. Also, with Willy realizing that Biff truly loves him, it is the first time that the audience really sees that Willy can be satisfied. But unfortunately, the revelation leads to Willy's mind being at ease and taking his life in the process.
