<P> Biff leaves the restaurant in frustration, followed by Happy and two girls that Happy has picked up . They leave a confused and upset Willy behind in the restaurant . When they later return home, their mother angrily confronts them for abandoning their father while Willy remains outside, talking to himself . Biff tries unsuccessfully to reconcile with Willy, but the discussion quickly escalates into another argument . Biff conveys plainly to his father that he is not meant for anything great, insisting that both of them are simply ordinary men meant to lead ordinary lives . The feud reaches an apparent climax with Biff hugging Willy and crying as he tries to get Willy to let go of the unrealistic expectations . Rather than listen to what Biff actually says, Willy appears to believe his son has forgiven him and will follow in his footsteps, and after Linda goes upstairs to bed (despite her urging him to follow her), lapses one final time into a hallucination, thinking he sees his long - dead brother Ben, whom Willy idolized . In Willy's mind, Ben approves of the scheme Willy has dreamed up to kill himself in order to give Biff his insurance policy money . Willy exits the house . Biff and Linda cry out in despair as the sound of Willy's car blares up and fades out . </P> <P> The final scene takes place at Willy's funeral, which is attended only by his family, Bernard, and Charley . The ambiguities of mixed and unaddressed emotions persist, particularly over whether Willy's choices or circumstances were obsolete . At the funeral Biff retains his belief that he does not want to become a businessman like his father . Happy, on the other hand, chooses to follow in his father's footsteps, while Linda laments her husband's decision just before her final payment on the house...</P> <P> "...and there'll be nobody home . We're free and clear, Willy...we're free...we're free ..." </P> <P> Death of a Salesman uses flashbacks to present Willy's memory during the reality . The illusion not only "suggests the past, but also presents the lost pastoral life ." Willy has dreamed of success his whole life and makes up lies about his and Biff's success . The more he indulges in the illusion, the harder it is for him to face reality . Biff is the only one who realizes that the whole family lived in the lies and tries to face the truth . </P>
