Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman follows the story of Willy Loman and his family; his sons Biff and Happy, and his wife, Linda. They are the typical American family chasing after the American Dream. Willy, the protagonist, believes that being well-liked will lead to success. His stubborn adherence to his sometimes questionable morals leads him to believe that his life, career, and family have been a failure. This struggle is the conflict of the play.
In this scene, Biff and Happy begin by discussing their father, and how he has recently been acting very strangely. He talks to himself, or to other people who aren’t really there. The conversation leads to how they could make their father happy: by being successful business men.
