Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This final flashback represent the convergence of plotlines in climax because the background plot once presented shows why in present day plot Biff in which Willy was said to act the way they do to each other.

The lowest point of the sons’ relationship with their father occured when they try to ditched Willy at the restaurant to go with the women in which Happy fails to acknowledge that Willy is his father

The seeds and Willy’s “planting” a “garden” represent Willy’s attempt to blindly form his legacy in which the garden is supposed to “provide” in a sense. Leave them cared for.

His family is more his legacy.

Planting represents either Biff’s growth or leaving him something in order for him to succeed.

The throwback to the trees he glorified at the beginning of the play because he was trying to get his family back to a happier time they were before.

The idea that the garden will produce either something real or material makes Willy feel like he actually gave them something.

It also is almost final act where the audience sees him working with his hands.

What occurs in the absolute moment of climax that determines this play will be a tragedy was the explosive argument that happened between the Lomans Linda calls for Willy and the boys sit up…. In which everybody was said to have this feeling Biff Cries to Willy and Willy thinks they hace finally got the understanding.

The guaranteed, “gilt-edged” proposition to which Willy refers to Willyś desire to take his own life in order for him to gain the life insurance money.

The plot point that ends Act II and thrusts us into the Requiem was Willyś death.

What we realize is the irony of the title of the play was the duality of the salesman which dead represent the death of the American Dream in which the dream is the death of you.

Irony- Willy wasn't a great salesman and Biffś dream of becoming a salesman died at the end just like Willy did He wasn't a salesman
