I totally agree with what my colleague has pointed out in relation to question number 5.

It is observed
throughout the work that the protagonist of the story has mental disorders, as if he was going crazy,
having numerous flashbacks and forgetting details like the death of his brother Ben. This part of the
work I also interpret as a concern that Willy has, since there is nothing planted in the garden which
means that his family will not have any benefits. It gives me the feeling that his concern is due to the
fact that he somehow feels that his death is getting closer and closer and planting the seeds leaves him
more relaxed, because his family after planting and after some time they will get to have some kind of
profit and can enjoy what Willy has planted. His concern for the family is observed and although he has
had a lover he still loves his wife and children.

I really like the comparison my colleague has made between Willy's wife, Linda, and the women of the
Victorian era. At that time, this model of the home angel, as my partner has pointed out very well, was
central to the Victorian conception and was in some way a natural and ideal condition of femininity.
Linda loves her husband very much and this is the reason why she rejects her husband's lies even though
in reality she is aware of everything. She is an innocent woman, wanting to protect her husband at all
times from all the bad that surrounds him. In addition, she is a mother who loves her children very much
and this is observed in her concern for Biff, since he tends to be violent, tends to steal most things and
does not perform well in school. Although she asks his children to stop tormenting their father so much,
she does not do it with bad intention but is concerned about Willy's condition.
