DOS

My reaction to this play was very compelling; willy is a very complex character to me, and Willy did not deserve to die in the play. Willy was very much compelled to kill himself, and I think that willy felt like there was no way out of the stress and pain of everyday life. In the play willy says, "I suppose that's my fault". In my opinion willy said that because he feels like it's his fault that biff failed math and he ended up taking it out on himself. Willy knew his emotional state was going down the drain and he knew there was nothing he could do about it. So, willy ended up killing himself. Willy basically realized that he could not handle his mental state and all the stress.
