Death of a Salesman Act II
(Summary)
by Arthur Miller
When Willy awakes the next
morning, Biff and Happy have already left,
Biff to see Bill Oliver and Happy to mull
over the “Florida idea” and go to work.
Willy, in high spirits with the prospect of
the “Florida idea,” mentions that he would
like to get some seeds and plant a small
garden in the yard. Linda, pleased with her
husband’s hopeful mood, points out that
there is not enough sun. POPCORN (name
of student)
(The students will continue the Popcorn
Reading until the story ends.)
Willy replies that they will have to get a house
in the country. Linda reminds Willy to ask his
boss, Howard, for a non-traveling job as well
as an advance to pay the insurance premium.
They have one last payment on both the
refrigerator and the house, and they have just
finished paying for the car. Linda informs
Willy that Biff and Happy want to take him to
dinner at Frank’s Chop House at six o’clock.
As Willy departs, moved and excited by his
sons’ dinner invitation, he notices a stocking
away.
Willy timidly enters Howard’s office.
Howard is playing with a wire recorder he has
just purchased for dictation. He plays the
recorded voices of his family: his cloyingly
enthusiastic children (a whistling daughter and
a son who recites the state capitals in
alphabetical order) and his shy wife. As Willy
tries to express admiration, Howard repeatedly
shushes him. Willy asks for a non-traveling job
at $65 a week. Howard replies that there is no
opening available. He looks for his lighter.
Willy finds it and hands it to him,
unconsciously ignoring, in his nervous and
pathetically humble distraction, his own advice
never to handle or tend to objects in a
superior’s office, since that is the responsibility
of “office boys.” Willy keeps lowering his
salary request, explaining his financial
situation in unusually candid detail, but
Howard remains resistant. Howard keeps
calling him “kid” and assumes a
condescending tone despite his younger age
and Willy’s reminders that he helped Howard’s
father name him. An interested Howard leaves
the office to attend to other people, and he
returns when Willy begins shouting frantically
after accidently switching on the wire recorder.
Eventually, Willy becomes so distraught that
Howard informs him that he does not want
Willy to represent his company anymore.
Willy says “You can’t eat the orange and throw
the peel away – a man is not a piece of fruit”,
he means that Howard has treated Willy like an
orange, consuming the fruit, or the best years
of his life, and then discarding him when he is
no longer useful.
Desperate, Willy tries to relate an
anecdote about Dave Singleman, an eighty-
four-year-old salesman who phoned his buyers
and made his sales without ever leaving his
hotel room. After he died the noble “death of a
salesman” that eludes Willy, hundreds of
salesmen and buyers attended his funeral.
Willy reveals that his acquaintance with this
venerable paragon of salesmanship convinced
him to become a salesman himself rather than
join his brother, Ben, on his newly purchased
plot of timberland in Alaska. Singleman’s
dignified success and graceful, respected
position as an older man deluded Willy into
believing that “selling was the greatest career a
man could want” because of its limitless
potential and its honorable nature. Willy
laments the loss of friendship and personality
in the business, and he complains that no one
knows him anymore. An uninterested Howard
leaves the office to attend to other people, and
he returns when Willy begins shouting
frantically after accidentally switching on the
wire recorder. Eventually, Willy becomes so
distraught that Howard informs him that he
does not want Willy to represent his company
anymore. Howard essentially fires Willy, with
the vague implication of reemployment after a
period of “rest.” He suggests that Willy turn to
his sons (who he understandably assumes are
successful given Willy’s loud bragging) for
financial support, but Willy is horrified at the
thought of depending on his children and
reversing the expected familial roles. He is far
too proud to admit defeat, and Howard must
insist repeatedly on the cessation of Willy’s
employment before it sinks in.
 1. Describe the character of Willy in the
Death of the Salesman? Willy is insecure,
dissatisfied, prideful, self-deluded traveling
salesman. Willy believes wholeheartedly in the
American Dream of easy success and wealth
but he never achieves. He is struggling to hold
onto the little dignity he has left in a changing
society.

2. Who was Dave Singleman and what

impression did he make on Willy? Dave
Singleman represents the “successful”
salesman who makes his sales without ever
leaviing his hotel room. He dies at 84 but
remains mythic among salesmen for doing
all his deals over the phone rather than in
person. Willy aspires to be like him.

3. Why did Willy tell Howard about Dave

Singleman? Willy tells Howard about Dave
Singleman because he wants to inspire
Howard and change his mind that he wants
a non-traveling job.

Now that we are done reading the story.

Let us try to answer the following questions
in relation to the text “Death of a
Salesman.” For the first question, (name of
a student) please read and give your answer.
4. Which part of the play “Death of the
Salesman” reveals that Willy puts his faith
in personal connection rather than potential
and hardwork? Howard keeps calling him
“kid” and assumes a condescending tone
despite his younger age and Willy’s
reminders that he helped Howard’s father
name him.

F. Generalization
The play “Death of a Salesman” shows
 the final demise of Willy Loman, a sixty-year - (answer of the Students may vary)
old salesman in the America of the 1940’s,
who has deluded himself all his life about
being a big success in the business world .It
also portrays his wife Linda, who “plays
along” nicely with his lies and tells him what
he wants to hear, out of compassion. It
addresses loss of identity and man’s inability to
accept change within him and society. The play
is a montage of memories, dreams,
confrontations, and arguments. Willy believes
wholeheartedly in what he considers the
promise of the American Dream-that a “well
liked” and personally attractive man in
business will indubitably and deservedly
acquire the material comforts offered by
Modern American Dream that identifies hard
work without complaint as the key to success.
