Willy's views

Willy doesn’t believe in individual opportunity. Willy believes that you have to be “well liked” to be successful. He says well liked because people can be like but still not be liked enough to get ahead in life. To him you must be really liked so you have more advantages given to you from people with the power. He disagrees with that philosophy, but to him it’s how life is. He has been working for his company for so long that he new the original owner, but yet he still isn’t in a powerful position. He’s put his time and hard work and someone else comes and takes what he believes is rightfully his just because they’re liked more. This is important because you get an understanding of how he feels and you know why he seems so miserable. He wants so badly to be successful and he works hard, but no matter how hard her tries he can’t achieve it. He believes that it’s impossible for him to succeed unless he’s well liked. For his case in the play that’s true, but I believe it is not this way in real life. Sometimes people do get ahead not by hard work but a hand out, but for the most part people get ahead by hard work and dedication.
