Willy Loman and unethical behavior?:
· He lies to Linda and tells her how much he’s making when in reality he’s really just borrowing money from their neighbor.
· He has an affair with another woman and didn’t tell anybody about it…then when Biff finds out, he tries to deny the situation.
· He’s always talking about how Biff is going to move on to college and beyond and do great things when Biff is pretty much just taking after his own father.
· He tries to commit suicide more than once-it’s completely selfish of him to think that Linda would be okay or even survive without him.
· He tries to cover up the fact that he was intentionally trying to kill himself-makes up with as many excuses as possible to talk his way out of situations.
· He can be extremely cocky and arrogant on the outside but inside, he’s hurting and is too stubborn to let anyone know about it.
· He continuously lies and makes up excuses to get his way out of certain situations, no matter who he is lying to
· He doesn’t handle bad news very well; his attitude usually shows that he’s a strong, confident man who can take criticism, except when dealing with the truth.
· One of the worst outcomes from Willy’s stupid mistakes and unethical behavior is that his sons have become the epiphany of him and are walking in his footsteps.
