Willy's brother, Ben, continually appears in the troubled man's mind, offering hints on how to make it in the world of business. Though he's a disrespected salesman, he calls himself the "New England man." Though Biff has done nothing with his life by the age of thirty-four, Willy tells others and tries to make himself believe that his son is doing big things" out west. For years, Willy has believed that both he and his boys (particularly Biff) will one day be great successes.
Though Linda, Biff and Happy are all unable to separate reality from illusion to some degree, Willy is the main character who suffers from this ailment. The most obvious theme is the idea of reality versus illusion. Death of A Salesman has several themes that run throughout the play.
