He is willing to sacrifice everything.<\/td>\n Lives by the moral code of others. He follows the morals of Dave Singleman, and aspires to be exactly like him. He has a huge sense of duty to his family.<\/td>\n Thinks that appearance is very important. He also wants to be well liked. Plain suits (ie: average traveling salesman), blue collar, aged<\/td>\n Na\u00c3\u00afve, determined, caring, hopeful, wishful, driven, disillusioned, blinded, stubborn, childish, older, worn down.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n Linda<\/u><\/td>\n To be a good wife and mother.<\/td>\n MEDIUM<\/strong>: She is extremely supportive of Willy, especially to his sons, but her desire is so simple, that she does not need much will to accomplish it.<\/td>\n Duty to husband and family.

Always in the kitchen.<\/td>\n Downtrodden, miserable, devoted, liar, housewife, dutiful, loyal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n Biff<\/u><\/td>\n The American Dream, to be well liked and successful.<\/td>\n Starts MEDIUM<\/strong>, then becomes STRONGER<\/strong> at end of play: initially believed everything his father told him about how to be successful, but when these things don't work out, Biff realizes his father's errors and changes his own ways and starts to become a happier person because of it.<\/td>\n Follows ALL<\/em> of Willy's values, and has not developed any of his own. Moral stance is more apt to change than Willy though, because Biff realizes how blinded they are.<\/td>\n Attractive, strong, broad-shouldered, living in Willy's shadow.<\/td>\n Failure, attractive, athletic, stupid, thief, disillusioned, hopeful, caring, eldest.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n Happy<\/u><\/td>\n He wants his father, Willy, to approve of him, and to be equal to Biff in Willy's eyes.<\/td>\n WEAK<\/strong>: Happy has a weak will because he wants to be very different from his farther, but is so blinded by his father's ideals and philosophies that he, himself does not even realize it. He aspires to be nothing like his father, because he recognizes Willy's failures, but in the end cannot escape the family ties.<\/td>\n Rejects his father's ways and everything to do with him, tries to live life differently.<\/td>\n Unattractive,<\/p>\n Youngest, somewhat responsible, a player, blinded, well-built, ambitious, self-centred, vain, hedonistic.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n Charley<\/u><\/td>\n The American Dream, to be successful and respected, but he does so in a very different way from Willy.<\/td>\n STRONG<\/strong>: Charley knows who he is, where he comes from, and what he wants\u20ac\u00a6 and he doesn't care what others think of him.<\/td>\n He knows his place in the world and will not let anyone else sway that. He tries to help Willy realize his delusions.<\/td>\n Businesslike dress, nicer suits that Willy, confident.<\/td>\n Practical, not superficial, friendly, caring, successful, practical, ethical.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
