has always dreamed of a better life for his family and himself however his 'American dream' has always
been futile and unattainable. Death of a Salesman ends with the death of Willy due to his suicide and is
then followed by the requiem which is his funeral. "But where are all the people he knew? Maybe they
blame him?" Linda is speaking to her son's and Charley at Willy's funeral. She is confused at why Willy
