Topic > Willy Loman Character Analysis in Death Of A Salesman

Some examples are when Happy finds out that Biff stole Oliver's pen. Happy then comments that his father is never cheerful. He then tells Biff to lie to his father and says, "Say you have a lunch date with Oliver tomorrow." (Act Millar II: 82). An earlier example of Happy trying to impress Willy was in one of Willy's memories. Happy tells Willy to get his attention "I'm losing weight, have you noticed, dad?" (Millar Act I: 17). Happy also lies about his job. Biff says to Happy in front of Willy, "...are you a buyer? You're one of the assistant's two assistants, right?" (Act Millar II: 104). This is another good example of how Happy tries to impress Willy throughout the game
