Death of a Salesman Biffs confrontation with Wiily

In this scene i think that Biff has finally come to the point where he cannot put up with his father constantly dictating him. He expresses the way he truly feels about himself and his father and the things that has been bothering for a number of years. biff feels as though he has been living all his life just to please his father and not his own self. i think that Willy Loman wants his children to live the of lifestyle that he never had the opportunity to fulfill and still hopes too. he wants them to help him to live the American dream. biff feels as though he is not appreciated and accepted by his father for what he is and is even more hurt because he was never given to the chance the explore the world in the way he wanted to or follow the dreams and career path he had himself. He feels as though he has made nothing and a nobody out of himself, he also thinks this about his father but accepts him nonetheless and just wants the same type of acceptance in return. this is a very emotional scene because thoughts and emotions are coming out about the character.
