"Biff Loman is lost. In the greatest country in the world a young man with such- personal attractiveness, gets lost. And such a hard worker. There's one thing about Biff-he's not lazy"
Willy's expectations of Biff reveal Willy's misconception about the American dream. In reality, it takes more than "personal attractiveness" and likability to live out the iconic American dream. It takes back breaking work and sheer determination. Willy has deluded himself To believing that good looks and a charming personality are the perquisites for success. This is why he is so spiteful towards Biff's turnout and why he is so centered around Biff's successful career as a football player and his flourishing social life.
