Scale Of Success In Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman
Here Willy’s scale of success is shown again. Willy is showing the belief that grades are unimportant and misguides his two sons with that belief. This ultimately leads Biff to make unsuccessful math grades and then onto an unsuccessful career. The unsuccessfulness of his career choice leads to the contast bickering between the two. The unimportance Willy places on grades also shows the poor teachings he gives as a father, which is also what leads Biff steal, mistreat girls, and even get arrested. Willy is shown to be unsuccessful as a salesman and unsuccsessful at teaching his children.
