Willy
How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? When he was young, I thought, well, a young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week
Willy criticizes Biff because he feels his son is wasting his life working on a farm in Texas
I think he's still lost.
(Willy's imagination)
I am so lazy. What am I doing, playing around with horses, twenty-eight dollars a week!? I'm thirty-four years old, I need to make my future. I was wasting my life!
Linda
What happened to the love you had for him?
He threw me out of this house, remember that. I know he’s a fake and he doesn’t like anybody around who knows! I’ll chip in from now on. He’ll settle for half my pay check. He’ll be all right. I’m going to bed!
Biff perceives the gap between Willy's projected persona and his actual life, viewing him with pity rather than love, and resents his lofty expectations that Willy cannot fulfill.
