Aspect of form 1: “BIFF: Don’t take it that way!
Goddammit!
WILLY (strikes Biff and
falters away from the table):
You rotten little louse! Are
you spiting me?”
(Behavior/language)
Aspect of form 2: “(Off left, The Woman
laughs.) (...) THE WOMAN:
Someone’s at the door,
Willy!” (Relations with
women)
Justification
We can see this topic
present in the extract in
what Biff says about him
stealing multiple things
when working for Bill Oliver.
Justification
At the beginning of a play,
we see how Willy was
remembering the day before
Biff's match. Biff told him
that he stole a football and
Willy encouraged him to
continue robbing by telling
him that was good, that his
teacher will be proud since
he had initiative.
In this particular scene
where it can be clearly seen
that Biff and Willy are having
a strong discussion at the
table, we can find certain
stage directions which help
us situate ourselves and
add a context to what is
happening while they are
maintaining the discussion,
which It helps us because
thanks to this we can take
away an idea or connect this
type of situation with the
past and the upbringing that
Willy gave Biff when Biff was
young.
In this particular scene, willy
began to listen to the
woman's voice since the
situation he was going
through at that moment

Aspect of content 1: “And I’ll make good
somewhere, but I can’t go
tomorrow, see?
WILLY: Why not? You
simply...
BIFF: But the pen, Pop!
WILLY: You give it to him
and tell him it was an
oversight!
HAPPY: Sure, have lunch
tomorrow! BIFF: I can’t say
that...
WILLY: You were doing a
crossword puzzle and
accidentally used his pen!”
Aspect of content 2: “Pop, how can I go back?
WILLY: You don’t want to be
anything, is that what’s
behind it?
BIFF (now angry at Willy for
not crediting his sympathy):
Don’t take it that
way! You think it was easy
walking into that office after
what I’d done to
him? A team of horses
couldn’t have dragged me
back to Bill Oliver!”
reminded him of when biff
found him being unfaithful to
his mother, willy began to
hear this voice because he
still feels remorse for having
ruined biff's life because of
this event, that is why it
shows us how in the future
biff and happy go in search
of multiple women for sexual
satisfaction and do nothing
to change their lives.
Here we can see the values
that Willy has instilled in Biff
and Happy, about that to
achieve success in the
business world, they can’t
play fair, so here, Willy
insists to Biff to lie about
how he got his pen, just to
go to the appointment and
get the money for the
business.
Here, we can see the effects
of Willy’s teachings in the
past, when Biff stole the
football and Willy instead of
punishing him, he
congratulate him because of
his initiative, and now in the
present, Biff let us know that
he kept robbing things in the
places he had worked,
which was why he never
stayed in a job, also why he
didn’t have an address for 3
months, because he was in
jail for running away with a
suit who wasn’t his, and now
with Oliver’s fountain pen.
