In the movie Death of a Salesman, the main character WIlly goes through a difficult journey trying to fight against his illusions. “He raised his children – his own seed – in the tainted soil of illusion.” Throughout this film, WIlly has a weak relationship with his two sons Biff and Happy. Willy's delusions worsen throughout the film, resulting in an unhealthy relationship with his sons. Willy's relationship with his two sons is very different from the very beginning of Biff and Happy's childhood and this really affects the entire future of both boys. Will's life goal is to be liked and successful. Willy is too absorbed in these two goals to focus on the value he represents to his children. Will is an insecure man who dreams of becoming a successful salesman. Throughout the film, Willy's main concern is making sure he is liked. For example, when Willy tells his wife about a business opportunity, he says, "Oh, I'm going to knock them out next week." I'll go to Hartford. I'm very popular in Hartford. You know, the problem, Linda, is that people don't seem to talk to me. In this scene, Willy says that he is well-liked, but when asked about the people of Hartford, Willie admits that they pass by him like he's not there. This scene proves Willy's delusion in the way he says people love him but admits they don't talk to him. He's too caught up in the idea of ​​succeeding to realize that he hasn't really succeeded. Willy's intentions are good, but his delusional personality takes control of his actions. He sets his intentions so high that he sets himself up for failure. He is not an ideal role model for his children given that he has given up his passion as a carpenter...... middle of paper ......and sleeping with women. Happy followed in his father's footsteps in a negative way only because he was treated unfairly as a child. Overall, Willy's actions greatly influenced his children's lives. The statement: “He raised his children – his own seed – in the contaminated soil of illusion” is very accurate. Willy raised his children by guiding them through his way of life. Biff was "contaminated" as a child while striving to achieve his father's dreams, without realizing the negative effect it had on his life. Happy's lack of attention as a child only caused him to act out and develop bad morals. Willy's crazy life impacted every aspect of his two sons' lives. Willy's death, which is only mourned by Biff, Happy, and Linda, represents the illusion of Willy's beloved personality. Biff and Happy's childhood was contaminated by their father's delusions.
