Comparing Father and Child Relationships in Death of a...

Father and Child Relationships in Death of a Salesman and A View from the Bridge In literature as in life, we go through events which are the effects of the relationships between parent and child. In both plays Death of a Salesman and A View from the Bridge, Arthur Miller depicts the possessiveness of human nature through the eyes of Willy Loman and Eddie Carbone. Willy and his son Biff exhibit an undoubtable strain in their relationship. Willy gives all his dreams to Biff in hope that he will carry on or create success for himself.

I say I know who I am!...Im a dime a dozen...Im not bringing home any prizes any more, and youre going to stop waiting for me to bring them home!(Miller, DOS 132) Biff feels some guilt in not being able to allow Willy to have true pride. Biff may be aware that the only reason Willy is so proud of him is because of love. Yet in certain cases Biff denounces Willy because of hate.
