    The plot centers around Charlie Buckets portrayed by Freddie Highmore, a dirt poor young boy who values his family above all. Charlie’s (Highmore) character is thoroughly filled out in the first thirty minutes of the film. It is easy to feel empathy for Charlie and sympathize with him because he is so poverty-stricken yet he is always concerned for others more than himself. Due to competitors sending in espionage to steal his secrets, Wonka fires his entire staff and shuts down the factory. Mysteriously business resumes after so many years but, no one is ever seen going in or…

He put little emphasis on hard work and repeatedly throughout the play applauds his boys for their popularity. For example, when a neighbor boy, Bernard attempts to get a young Biff to study for his Math regents, Willy…

    Willy Loman had many blessings in his life: he had a supportive wife, two healthy children, and talent as a carpenter, yet despite possessing what many would consider to be happiness, Willy was filled with anger, resentment, and sadness at his existence, for the road he traversed was a bitter one. Willy Loman was abandoned during his childhood, stating to Ben during a flashback when asked how much he remembered about his father, “Well, I was just a baby, of course, only three or four years old” and “all I remember is a man with a big beard, and I was in Mamma’s lap, sitting around a fire, and some kind of high music.” Because of his abandonment, Willy was void of any affection or acknowledgement growing up, so he yearned to fulfill…

    Willy was not a good example of a role model. He was never successful, even in his prime, yet he lived in a daydream of the "good old days", refusing to accept reality. He was not respected, even by his sons, and most frequently was disregarded by those around him. Even at his funeral, the only people…

Three years eight months i've been in this orphanage and I haven't had a whole carrot in my dinner bowl once. Neither has anyone else.¨ A few paragraphs after that it reads, ¨At last.

    Death of a Salesman

    Willy’s pride contributes to his downfall when he implies to his two sons Biff and Happy that being well-liked will make you a more successful person than making good grades in school. Willy states, “Bernard can get the best marks in school, y’understand, but when he gets in the business world, you are going to be five times ahead of him…Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead. Be liked and you will never want” (1881). Because of Willy’s beliefs Biff and Hap never really tried hard in school and in Willy’s eyes they never succeeded in life, causing Willy to have delusional expectations of his sons being successful business men. Willy’s over the top sense of pride puts forward his insecurity of not meeting his own expectations when he says, “You take me, for instance. I never have to wait in line to see a buyer. ‘Willy Loman is here!’ That’s all they have to know, and I go right through” (1881). Biff and Happy are absolutely mesmerized by their father when they are younger and they believe every word Willy says to them. The older Biff and Happy get it becomes clear to them that their father was nothing more than a liar trying to make himself well-liked by others. This causes Biff and Happy to lie, cheat, and steal to make them appear more successful to others.…

    Willy greatly struggles with his insecurity and corrupt goals he sets in life. He falsely boasts quite often attempting to hide from his self doubt and anxiety. Willy remarks: “You and Hap and I, and I’ll show you all the towns…And they know me, boys, they know me up and down New England. The finest people. And when I bring you fellas up, there’ll be open sesame for all of us, 'cause one thing, boys: I have friends.” This passage shows one of the many examples of his insecurity and boastful nature. Willy is a failure and has brainwashed himself by his belief of popularity equals success in life. “Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead. Be liked and you will never want.” This quote highlights Willy’s thought of popularity and how it can affect one in their life. This is ironic because he repeatedly claims that people will remember him which adds fuel to the fire when no-one shows at his funeral. Therefore, his family can only think that he is a liar and ultimately a failure. Willy’s fatal flaw is that he cannot accept his lack of success in life; however, he tries to use his son, Biff, to solve his problem and deal with his…
