Let’s Analyze
REQUIEM
(Death of a Salesman)
CHARLEY: It’s getting dark, Linda. (Linda doesn’t react. She stares at the grave.)
BIFF: How about it, Mom? Better get some rest, heh? They’ll be closing the gate soon. (Linda
makes no move. Pause)
HAPPY: (deeply angered): He had no right to do that! There was no necessity for it. We
would’ve helped him.
CHARLEY: (grunting): hmmm,
BIFF: Come along, Mom.
LINDA: Why didn’t anybody come?
LINDA: But where are all the people he knew? Maybe they blame him.
CHARLEY: Naa, It’s a rough world, Linda. They wouldn’t blame him.
LINDA: I can’t understand it. At this time especially. First time in thirty–five years, we were just
about free and clear. He only needed a little salary. He was even finished with the dentist.
BIFF: There were a lot of nice days. When he’d come home from a trip; or on Sundays making
the stoop; finishing the cellar; putting on the new porch; when he built the extra bathroom; and
pat up the garage. You know something, Charley, there’s more of him in that front stoop than
in all the sales he ever made.
CHARLEY: (Stopping HAPPY’s movement and reply. To Biff) Nobody dast blame this man.
You don’t understand: Willy was a salesman. And for a salesman, there is no rock bottom to
life. He doesn’t put a bolt to a nut, he doesn’t tell you the law or gives you medicine. He’s a
man out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling
back---- an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re
finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the
territory.
HAPPY: I’m not licked that easily. I’m staying right in this city, and I’m gonna beat this racket!
HAPPY: All right, boy. I’m gonna show you and everybody else that Willy Loman did not die in
vain. He had a good dream. It’s the only dream you can have---- to come out a number – one
man. He fought it out here, and this is where I’m gonna win it for him.
BIFF: (with a hopeless glance at HAPPY, bends toward his mother) Let’s go, Mom.
LINDA: I’ll be with you in a minute. Go on, Charley. (He hesitates.) I want to, just for a minute. I
never had the chance to say goodby. (Charley moves away, followed by HAPPY. BIFF
remains a slight distance up and left of LINDA. She sits there, summoning herself. The flute
begins, no far away, playing behind her speech.)
LINDA: Forgive me, dear. I can’t cry. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t cry. I don’t understand
it. Why did you ever do that? Help me, Willy, I can’t cry. It seems to me that you’re just on
another trip. I keep expecting you. Willy, dear, I can’t cry. Why did you do it? I search and
search and I search, and I can’t understand it, Willy. I made the last payment on the house
today. Today, dear. And there’ll be nobody home. (A sob rises in her throat.) We’re free and
clear. (Sobbing more fully, released.) We’re free. (BIFF comes slowly toward her.) We’re
free… We’re free… (BIFF lifts her to her feet and moves out upright with her in his arms.
LINDA sobs quietly. BERNARD and CHARLEY come together and follow them, followed by
HAPPY. Only the music of the flute is left on the darkening stage as over the house the hard
towers of the apartment buildings rise into a sharp focus, and-
Directions: Read and answer them for the clarification of their details.
1. What does Biff learn in Boston that influences his life? Why can’t Biff be what his
father wants him to be? Why does Biff steal things? Does Biff use Willy’s behavior as
an excuse for his waywardness? What does he say to Willy about the way he wants
to live and what Willy expects of him?
2. What is the turning point in Willy’s life? Is Willy the main character in the play or is it
Biff? Why? What does Biff discover about himself? How does this discovery affect
his relationship with Willy? How is Biff’s self-realization dramatic? What is the climax
of the play?
