Biff
and Happy Loman are both underachieving, delusional brothers who have yet to settle down, get
married, and start a family. The Loman brothers are both extremely selfish, unscrupulous
individuals who have an affinity for women and lack self-awareness. Biff and Happy have never
been able to live up to their potential and initially subscribe to their father's superficial
ideals. They are both shallow, self-centered men who have not lived up to Willy's high
expectations. Biff is an out of work thirty-four-year-old man, while Happy is a lowly assistant
to the assistant buyer. Even though Biff is currently unemployed, Happy's future is not much
brighter, which is why he exaggerates his position.
Despite their many
similarities, Biff and Happy did not share the same life story. As an adolescent, Biff was a
successful, renowned athlete with an opportunity to play football in college. In contrast, Happy
was out of shape and constantly tried to gain his father's attention and
admiration....
