The
Relationship Between
Biff and Happy--The
Loman
Brothers
Biff and Happy are the sons of Willy Loman, the main character of this
drama play. They are all different in characters but in a way
these two brothers were united after a long time since they last saw each
other. When they were little, about the age in high school, Biff
was a popular football player at that time and Happy sort is sort of like
the bug that runs around with his brother all the time. We can see
in a way that Happy really admires his brother Biff and looks up to him
a lot. In act one, we can see that they were together planning their
future dreams because their father isn't thinking highly of what they are
doing now. You can see how they supported each other and they still
have many dreams that they want to accomplish together. They even
went out with girls together. In some ways, these two brothers are
alike. They both are great dreamers and are still confused about
themselves and the age nearly thirty. But still you can see the good
relationship between them when they talked about the LOMAN BROTHER they
kind of lit up the inspiration in both of their uncertain hearts.
You can say that they really enjoy their time being together and the dreams
they share in the beginning foAct One.
As we move a little further to the end of the first
act and the beginning of the second act, we can see that these two borthers
began to have their argument. Biff is so tired of his father telling
him what to do and mock him all the time, so he began to speak ill behind
his back and wouldn't believe the truth that his father wanted to commit
suicide. As we come along to this point, we can see that through
out the story, Willy seems to care more about his older son Biff that his
younger son Happy. We can see it through the time that all Willy
talks about is his son Biff but Happy seems to be a oursider of this family
that he is simply someone to give suggestions. You can never find
Willy asking Happy how was his day or any health comversation between them.
But this isn't a problem to the relationship between Biff and Happy, because
although Happy is always treated second place he still loves his brother
very much. The only time when they have some argument is when Linda,
their mom told them about Willy wanted to kill himself. Biff acted
like it doesn't really bother him and that he know this was going to happen.
Happy knew that Biff is the only thing left on earth for his papa to live
on. So he insisted Biff to talk to their father and try to confinse
him to talk his father out of this idea.
At the end of the drama when Willy is died, Happy
wanted to contiuned his father's busness but as to Biff he wouln't want
to carry out the family line but to realize his own dream. This is
where you find that Biff is really different from Happy. As to all
this, the conclution is that Biff and Happy is a really blooded tied brother
and they really do love each other.
