He regrets how he led his life at the age of sixty and wished that he would have better earn money rather than caring about sentiments.
Willy was consistent on his belief that the key to success is being well appreciated by others. Years ago, his brother Ben, who was an affluent young man at the age of twenty one told him that success is not being liked by everyone, but rather on how many materialistic things you have- the things you can physically touch. Not only this, he feels himself blameworthy for his sons’ failures as well. If he would have done this, only if he hasn’t pursued his life the way he did, he could have succeeded. His mind keeps gliding from present to past and from reality to imagination. The story begins with Willy unable to keep his mind on his present life, rather sit and feel guilty over his past. The plot of Death of a Salesman revolves around Willy Loman, who was a salesman by profession.
